“Outer Banks” star Austin North was arrested for allegedly attacking employees at the UMC Hospital in Las Vegas.

According to TMZ, North, 27, allegedly went out of control in the medical center Tuesday night — to the point where he had to be restrained.

Cops were called to the hospital for reports of an assault and battery that had taken place in the emergency room unit.

When the authorities arrived, they interviewed victims, including several nurses and a phlebotomist, who claimed they were attacked by the Netflix star out of nowhere.

North allegedly punched a nurse in the head, pushed the phlebotomist into a table and shoved the face of another nurse during the alleged attack, per the outlet.

The phlebotomist told police they hit North in the head in self-defense with a nearby tray.

He was then restrained by security officers — but not before he allegedly hit one more person.

TMZ reports that North was handcuffed to a gurney until the cops arrived and read him his Miranda rights before arresting him for battery.

The “I Didn’t Do It” alum was reportedly booked for gross misdemeanor battery and has since bonded out.

In his mugshot, obtained by TMZ, North had cuts and bruises across his eyebrows, forehead and ear.

North broke his silence on the attack Thursday night, revealing he has little to no recollection of the event.

“I am deeply upset by the events that took place in Las Vegas this past week,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “My friend drove me to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. Several tests were taken, including blood, which came back negative for any drugs or alcohol in my system.”

He continued, “I was having a severe anxiety attack. I have very little memory of the events that day at the hospital. I have the utmost respect for healthcare workers and hospital staff.”

The actor furthered he’s “battled anxiety on and off for years and this was the most extreme panic attack” he’s ever had.

“Going forward, I hope to shed light on this debilitating disorder and send hope to those who have struggled,” he concluded.

On Tuesday, North, who plays Topper in the hit drama “Outer Banks,” shared an Instagram reel of his event-filled weekend in Sin City during Super Bowl LVIII.

“So grateful for the amazing Super Bowl experience courtesy of @cadillac” he captioned the clip before shouting other brands who went “above and beyond.”

He has since turned off his comments on the post.

Pvnew has reached out to North’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
