“Outer Banks” actor Austin North was arrested Tuesday night in Las Vegas on aggravated assault charges after he allegedly attacked several 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 appeared to have occurred in the emergency room.
Upon arrival, police officers interviewed the alleged victims.
The attack came out of nowhere, according to two nurses and a phlebotomist interviewed by officials. The 27-year-old actor from the hit Netlix series punched and pushed all three hospital workers one after the other for no apparent reason.
There's still no word on why the actor was in the hospital in the first place.

The Post has reached out to North representatives for comment.
According to the report, North allegedly punched a 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, hitting North in the head.

Security officers then detained North, but before doing so he managed to attack a fourth woman, whose role and identity were not revealed.
According to TMZ, cops eventually managed to handcuff him to a nearby gurney at the hospital. Officers on scene read North his Miranda rights and claimed he said “yes” when told they were arresting him for assault.
North was then taken to prison.
He has since been released on bail.
