Bam Margera From 'Jackass' Placed On Psychiatric Hold

'Jackass' star Bam Margera has been placed on involuntary psychiatric hold by police, after being found at Terjo's Tacos in Los Angeles, when family raised concerns about his whereabouts. 

His speech and behaviour appeared "erratic" which were coupled with public threats of suicide, which led to police calling in  psychiatric evaluation teams who determined he needed to be sent to a mental health facility for up to 72 hours, on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

He has recently been feuding with estranged wife Nikki over the custody of their son Phoenix. Nikki filed for separation in February after they quietly split in 2021.

His brother tweeted on Sunday, requesting help to find Bam. Later that day he confirmed he had been found.

“They found him safe. He texted me and my parents at 6am this morning saying he loves us he loves Phoenix and he is ‘at peace’ and that he took enough pills to stop his heart. And some really heartbreaking dark shit.”

Bam has been involved in numerous public incidents over the last year. He turned himself in in April following an alleged "physical altercation" with his brother, to which he later denied the allegations.

He has also been arrested for allegedly kicking a woman, to which he posted bail and was released, and for public intoxication at an LA restaurant.

It was revealed last year that he had completed a 12-month treatment program for drug and alcohol abuse.

Co-star Steve-O has expressed concerns for Bam.

“I’ve tried everything I can, but I can’t force you to get honest and do the work of recovery."
