‘Outer Banks’ star Austin North arrested after allegedly attacking ER staff

“Outer Banks” actor Austin North was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday night for gross misdemeanor battery after allegedly attacking multiple hospital workers at UMC Hospital.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, officers were dispatched to the scene for reports of an assault and battery that had apparently occurred in the ER.

Upon arrival, cops then interviewed the alleged victims.

According to two nurses and a phlebotomist interviewed by officers, the attack came out of nowhere. The 27-year-old actor from the hit Netlix series threw punches at all three hospital personnel in succession and shoved them for no apparent reason.

There is still no word why the actor was in the hospital in the first place.

The Post has reached out to North’s reps for comment.

According to the report, North allegedly punched one nurse in the head, shoved another in the face, and pushed the phlebotomist into a table.

The phlebotomist then used a nearby tray table in self-defense and hit North in the head.

Security officers then restrained North, but not before he was able to attack a fourth female, but her role and identity have not been released.

According to TMZ, cops were finally able to cuff him to a nearby gurney in the hospital. The police officers on the scene read North his Miranda rights and they claim he said “yes” when he was told they were arresting him for battery.

North was then transported to jail.

He has since bean released on bond.
