NEW YORK — Michael Pitt, star of the crime drama “Boardwalk Empire,” was reportedly hospitalized last week after being accused of throwing items at people in New York.
A short video published by TMZ appears to show a shirtless Pitt strapped to a gurney as officials escort him down a street in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Police determined Pitt to be emotionally disturbed and therefore didn’t charge him with a crime, but transported him a hospital, TMZ reported.
Pitt’s team hasn’t publicly commented on the situation, and his current condition isn’t known.
The actor was hit with assault and petty larceny charges in July after allegedly hitting another man multiple times and taking his phone, according to TMZ.
That incident is said to have occurred at the same location as what transpired Friday.
The New Jersey-born Pitt, 41, portrayed Jimmy Darmody on the first two seasons of “Boardwalk Empire” and is also known for the series “Dawson’s Creek” and “Hannibal.”
