Police told NY1 that Michael was holding a Bible when police arrived on the scene.
A neighbor, Gregory Clarke, told WPIX he overheard the melee. "I hear the brother chasing her [his mother] through the house and he's just saying a bunch of like [Bible] passages like, 'Repent, Repent, Repent.'"
The Haitian-American actor has appeared on Ugly Betty as well as Step-Up 3-D. Following the police's discovery, he was arrested and taken to Kings County Hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
