The growing number of homeless men and women in Los Angeles is starting to affect Hollywood’s A-listers.
Recently, NCIS Pauley Perrette was assaulted by a “psychotic homeless man” who she said was going to kill her
Pauley Perrett plays a forensic scientist, Abby Sciuto, on the hit CBS show. She posted a tweet including an image of a long document that described her experience.
“I am shaken and traumatized,” she wrote. “My life changed tonight.”
Perrette wrote that as she was walking from her Hollywood home to a guest house, a man grabbed her and punched her in the face and told her he was going to kill her.
“He grabbed me so forcefully, pinned my arm, punched me in the nose, forehead repeatedly telling me he was going to kill me,” she tweeted. “Then he showed me how he was going to kill me.”
So, tonight was awful, life changing and I’m only grateful to be alive. It’s here: pic.twitter.com/vXIT1pkVRc

The 46-year old actress said her attacker said his name was William and after she told him he has a beautiful name and her nephew has the same name, he began to punch her again. “He started to punch me again and then said, ‘Get the f–k out of here,’ and I did.” She collapsed on the sidewalk and a dog began licking on her face. “Some guy walked right past with a dog that licked my face. He was on his phone, annoyed. Did nothing,” she wrote. She then texted her friend next door and her “church friend cop.” She drew a sketch of her attacker for the police. “[He] was headed towards Hollywood Blvd with murder in his eyes…[James] found the guy, surveilled him, the cops came and followed James to him. They got him. Felony assault.”
Fans took to Twitter to voice their support for the NCIS actress.
@PauleyP dearest Pauley. We all send you wishes to recover from this terror. I Love you!
