Outer Banks Star Arrested For Alleged Hospital Assault

The Outer Banks actor is reported to have been in the emergency room seeking treatment when he is said to have snapped and punched an attending nurse in the head before grabbing another one by the face. A hospital phlebotomist that was helping treat Austin North was also allegedly attacked and thrown onto a table.

In the police report, the unnamed phlebotomist jumped to the defense of the hospital staff and struck the Outer Banks cast member on the head with a tray. This subdued Austin North long enough for security personnel to get him restrained ahead of police arriving to place him under arrest. In his mugshot released shortly after his detention, North appears to have dried blood above one eye, perhaps from the strike handed to him from the phlebotomist.
