(Oct. 22) - Nathaniel Marston, who plays a doctor on ABC's
"One Life to Live," has been released without bail following his
arraignment on assault and other charges in an altercation in
midtown Manhattan.
Marston, 32, attacked three men with a crate around 4:30 a.m.
Sunday at 10th Avenue and 45th Street, says a felony complaint
filed in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Verne Troyer reached a settlement on Friday that ensures that the sex tape his now ex-girlfriend made when they were still a couple will not be distributed.
The complaint charges that Marston struck one man on the hand;
hit another in the back of the neck, causing bruising and swelling;
then caused the third man to be hospitalized with a broken leg.
When officers tried to arrest Marston, he began flailing his
arms and kicking at officers and refused to be handcuffed, the
complaint says. It says Officer Sean Turner had medical treatment
for a cut hand and a bruised knee.
Jennifer Kushner, spokeswoman for the Manhattan district
attorney's office, said Marston was treated at Bellevue Hospital
Center for scrapes and bruises before his court appearance.
Marston was labeled by hospital officials as anemotionally disturbed person, the
New York Daily News reports
Lori Hogan, a spokeswoman for ABC, said, "We're aware of the
incident and (are) reviewing its details."
Marston's lawyer, Tom Klein, declined to comment Monday.
Marston was charged with four counts of second-degree assault,
menacing, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest. He was
released without bail by Judge John Cataldo.
His next court appearance is set for Feb. 4, 2008.
Marston plays Dr. Michael McBain on "One Life to Live." He
previously played Eddie Silva on the CBS daytime soap opera "As
the World Turns."
Marston has a history of problems with the law. He was arrested in 1999 on criminal mischief charges for destroying an ATM machine. Sources tell the News that he had blown up on the set of 'One Live to Live' in the week leading up to the alleged assault over the weekend.
