Soap star Nathaniel Marston (who plays Dr. Michael McBain on One Live To Live), was arrested Sunday morning and charged with attacking three people in New York City.

Marston evidently was under the influence of drugs, possibly cocaine, when police were called to the scene.

Marston had gotten out of a taxi, started arguing with the driver, then started swinging a metal crate at Salvatore Cabibbo (who was nearby). Marston has been charged with two counts of felony assault, two counts of reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a weapon. He was also charged with one count of resisting arrest. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, but was released this morning.

It looks as if he has had problems on the One Life To Live set in recent days as well - he was described by a source as being an “emotional wreck” and it led to a blowup on the set.

I’m sure the powers that be over at One Life To Live aren’t too thrilled with Marston being arrested. Hmmm, could he soon be headed to the unemployment line?
