http://www.soapcentral.com/oltl/news/2007/1022-marston.php Troubled One Life to Live star Nathaniel Marston was arrested in New York this weekend for an alleged drug-induced attack on three people. Marston was previously arrested for attacking an ATM. Marston joined OLTL in 2001. He appeared previously on CBS's As the World Turns. One Life to Live star Nathaniel Marston (Michael McBain) was arrested this weekend after an allegedly assault in which he wielded a metal crate and attacked three bystanders in Manhattan. The actor was taken into police custody, admitted to the hospital for observations and later released. The arrest stems from an incident that took place on Sunday, October 21st at 4:50am near 45th Street and 10th Avenue in Manhattan. Marston exited a cab and began arguing with the cab driver. The 32-year-old actor, who plays a doctor on One Life to Live, is then said to have assaulted three people with a crate, breaking one man's leg. "He was crazed -- I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall," said alleged victim Salvatore Cabibbo in an interview with the New York Daily News. Police were called to the scene and determined that Marston appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, possibly cocaine. Marston reportedly resisted arrest. The former amateur boxer flailed and swung wildly as police tried to take him into custody. The actor was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he was labeled an "emotionally disturbed person," police said. Also injured in the scuffle was New York City Police Officer Sean Turner. Marston was charged with one count of Assault in the Second Degree, three counts of Assault in the Second Degree, three counts of Menacing in the Second Degree, three counts of Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree and one count of Resisting Arrest. Marston is scheduled to appear in criminal court on February 4th, 2008. This is not the first time that Marston's anger has gotten the better of him. A show source tells soapcentral.com that Marston had been acting somewhat erratically recently. Last week, the actor erupted while at work in ABC's Manhattan studios. In 1999, Marston was arrested on criminal mischief charges after he attacked an automated-teller machine (ATM) in Manhattan. The actor was fined and ordered to attend anger management classes. Marston joined the cast of One Life to Live in December 2001 as Al Holden, but his character was killed off two years later. Fans flooded ABC with letters of support for the actor and the network un-fired Marston, creating the new role of Michael McBain for him. Prior to joining One Life to Live, Marston a two-year run as As The World Turns's Eddie Silva, a stint that ended in January 2000. A spokesperson for One Life to Live had no immediate comment on the situation. Why do stars think it's ok to act like this?
