A tragic and violent incident occurred with NCIS star Pauley Perrette on Thursday night. The actress, best known for her time as Abby Sciuto on the hit CBS show, was attacked outside her Hollywood home by what she described as a “psychotic homeless man.”
In a word document that she tweeted out early Friday morning, she said, “On my street, I was jumped by a VERY psychotic homeless man. I was alone, terrified and trapped. There was an empty garage behind me and I knew if he got me in there, I was dead.”
The homeless man, who identified himself to Perrette as William, proceeded to pin the actress to the ground, and repeatedly punched her in the head and face while telling her he was going to kill her.
“My life changed tonight,” she wrote. “I almost died tonight.”
So, tonight was awful, life changing and I'm only grateful to be alive. It's here: pic.twitter.com/vXIT1pkVRc

After the man let her go, police responded to the incident, and were able to follow and track down the man. The LAPD arrested the 45-year-old white suspect and are holding him on a $100,000 bail. According to CNN, the suspect’s attorney has yet to release a statement on the felony battery charge. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Perrette after such a vile and senseless attack.
