Pauley Perrette, one of the stars of NCIS, took to Twitter to recount the frightful encounter she had with a homeless man on her property Thursday night.
Perrette detailed the harrowing incident in a document on her computer before taking a screenshot and sharing it with her followers.
“On my street, I was jumped by a very psychotic homeless man,” Perrette said in her message. “He grabbed me so forcefully, pinned my arm and punched me in the nose and forehead. He [kept] repeatedly telling me he was going to kill me. Then he showed me how he was going to kill me.”
Perrette believes that she was able to avoid certain death because of a casual comment she made about her attacker’s name.
“He kept repeating his name. ‘William… Don’t forget that! I’m going to kill you’ 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,” Perrette said. “I knew I couldn’t overcome him, I prayed my heart out and then finally said, ‘William is a beautiful name, I have a little nephew named William.'”
“That’s all I said, all I did, other than praying my heart out,” Perrette added. “He started to punch me again, and then said: ‘Get the f—k out of here’ And I did.”
After briefly going into shock, Perrette contacted her friend James and hastily drew a sketch of the man who had assaulted her. Before long, James found the man and was able to lead the cops to him. “They got him,” Perrette said. “Felony assault.”
Perrette ended her note by sharing how the experience has left her changed, and also with a call to action.
“I am shaken and traumatized. My house, my beloved Hollywood. My beloved homeless people that I spend my life protecting. My life changed tonight,” Perrette wrote. “We need full mental health care. We need housing and help for the homeless. We need to support our cops. We need to not walk alone. I need to heal. I almost died tonight.”
