‘Boardwalk Empire’ Star Michael Pitt Taken To Hospital After Outburst In NYC

Star Michael Pitt was taken into authorities custody last Friday and hauled off to the hospital after an extremely public outburst in NYC, TMZ has actually discovered.

Video acquired by TMZ programs Pitt strapped to a gurney and surrounded by EMS professionals who are wheeling him down a pathway in Bushwick, Brooklyn, most likely to a waiting ambulance. Pitt appears he remains in a daze … very first looking up at the sky, then turning his head to the side as he silently lays on the stretcher.

Police sources inform us … somebody called 911 to report a male (Pitt) was tossing things at individuals, potentially from the roof of a structure.

Police officers rapidly reacted to the scene and Pitt was captured, however not charged with a criminal activity due to the fact that he was considered a mentally disrupted individual. He was required to a regional hospital for treatment.

Back in July, Pitt had another brush with the law at the exact same area, and he was detained for attack and petty larceny. The star apparently nabbed a guy’s phone out of his hand and consistently punched him in the head prior to taking the phone. Thankfully, the guy suffered just small injuries.

In New York City, an individual who is put on an uncontrolled psych hold can just be held for 72 hours, unless the hospital petitions a judge to keep the client, and after that just for an optimum of 60 days amount to. We do not understand Pitt’s existing status.
