Nathaniel Marston who plays Dr.Michael McBain on “One Life to Live” has been hospitalized and is in trouble with the law after attacking three people and fighting with police during a drug induced rage.

The incident happened just before 5AM Sunday morning. Marston has been charged with two counts each of felony assault, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and one count of resisting arrest.

Witness and victim, Salvatore Cabibbo, says he was minding his own business having a cup of coffee when he saw Marston get out of a cab and argue with the driver. Then Cabibbo says that the amped up actor came at him for no reason other than he just happened to be there. Marston threatened the man screaming, “I’m going to get you,” and charged at Cabibbo swinging a metal crate at him.

Says Cabibbo, 46,

“He was crazed – I don’t know the guy from a hole in the wall. I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Marston hit him with the crate, breaking his leg, then continued on, running into a nearby gas station nearby. He ran through the traffic on a busy New York street nearly being hit in the process.

A source said Marston has had problems on the set of ‘One Life to Live’ recently. He was fired from the show in the past, in July 2003, but then thousands of fans wrote to ABC begging for him to be rehired. And so he was. It seems this time he won’t be so lucky. . . regardless of what fans think.

“He is definitely going to lose his job. They’ve given him chance after chance after chance,”

said Carolyn Hinsey, editor of Soap Opera Weekly.

Police say Marston appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, possibly cocaine. He flung his arms and kicked at officers as he was being arrested. He was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was labeled ‘an emotionally disturbed person’.
