Tatum O'Neal was allegedly suicidal at a Los Angeles area home, so cops responded and she was placed on a psychiatric hold ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We’re told police and fire responded last month to a call for a suicidal person, after Tatum allegedly threatened to jump off a balcony.
Our sources say the 'Bad News Bears' star was transported to a local hospital once help arrived, and she was eventually placed on a psychiatric hold for further evaluation.
It's a pretty scary situation, especially considering Tatum's well-documented struggles over the years with addiction.
