Cops found a hysterical Michael holding a bible, TMZ reports. A taser was needed to calm the actor before he was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

"I hear the brother chasing her his mother through the house and he's just saying a bunch of Bible passages like, 'Repent, Repent, Repent,' " a neighbor told WPIX 11.

The neighbor continued, "I heard him chasing her through the house and I hear a loud scream and so I have my father call the cops, call 911."

Michael has not been formally charged or arrested at this time, but will be taken to the NYPD after his psychiatric evaluation is complete.
