Actor Michael Pitt has been seen out and about in New York City looking the picture of health just two months after he was snapped being strapped to a stretcher and taken to hospital following a public outburst.

The Boardwalk Empire star was seen sporting an 'I love NY' hoodie with his Doberman service dog outside Gotham Gym in downtown Manhattan over the weekend. 

In July 2022, Pitt was arrested and charged with assault and petty larceny after allegedly hitting another man multiple times and taking his phone. 

Then in September, he was hospitalized and deemed to be 'emotionally disturbed' after he was accused of throwing items at people from the rooftop of a building.

The meltdown in Brooklyn caused onlookers to call the police on him at which point he was stretchered away. No charges were ever filed in the incident.

In the September incident, Pitt could be seen without a shirt on wearing dark shorts with a blue scarf around his neck before police arrived on the scene. 

The Hollywood vet could then be seen with no shoes on looking confused as he was strapped down onto a stretcher as paramedics wheeled him away on a sidewalk.

The incident began on the streets of Bushwick when he started shouting and acting erratically. 

The star was also allegedly throwing items and was clearly a threat to the public.

Concerned onlookers called police and the cops reportedly arrive quickly.

They arrived with an ambulance as well and somehow the police were able to subdue the star whereupon he was strapped down for his own safety.

While on the stretcher he stared up at the sky and seemed emotionless. 

He was not charged as Pitt seemed emotionally disturbed, the site claimed. He was taken to a local hospital for care, it was also alleged.

The incident was treated as a mental health problem.

In July, Pitt was arrested for assault and petty larceny in the same location, in Bushwick.

The actor allegedly punched a man in the head over and over again to obtain his cell phone. The man had only minor injuries.

On that occasion the police were called and Pitt was arrested.
