“Outer Banks” star Austin North was arrested for allegedly attacking employees at the UMC Hospital in Las Vegas.

According to TMZ, North, 27, allegedly went out of control in the medical center Tuesday night — to the point where he had to be restrained.

Cops were called to the hospital for reports of an assault and battery that had taken place in the emergency room unit.

When the authorities arrived, they interviewed victims, including several nurses and a phlebotomist, who claimed they were attacked by the Netflix star out of nowhere.

North allegedly punched a nurse in the head, pushed the phlebotomist into a table and shoved the face of another nurse during the alleged attack, per the outlet.

The phlebotomist told police they hit North in the head in self-defense with a nearby tray.

He was then restrained by security officers — but not before he allegedly hit one more person.

TMZ reports that North was handcuffed to a gurney until the cops arrived and read him his Miranda rights before arresting him for battery.
