The 46-year-old actress was walking across the street to a guest house when a “VERY psychotic homeless man” grabbed her and punched her in the face.

“He grabbed me so forcefully, pinned my arm, punched me in the nose, forehead repeatedly telling me he was going to kill me,” she tweeted. “Then he showed me how he was going to kill me.”

“He started to punch me again and then said, ‘Get the fuck out of here,’ and I did.”

Perrette said she called the police and the man was later arrested for felony assault.

“My life changed tonight. I almost died tonight.”
