Actress Amanda Bynes has been placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold. The former teen star was found wandering round the streets of downtown Los Angeles early on Sunday morning with no clothes on, according to reports.
The 36-year-old is said to have flagged down a car that was driving by as she told the person behind the wheel that she was "coming down from a psychotic episode".
She is then reported to have called 911 and after being taken to a police station, it was decided by mental health professionals that she would be placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, which is described as a legal action from the CA Welfare and Institutions Code which allows a qualified officer to confine someone against their will for 72 hours, though this can be extended.
