LOS ANGELES — Actor Jonathan Tucker known for his role in the television series, “Kingdom,” rushed into a house to stop a home invasion in Los Angeles.
The home invasion happened on Sunday just after 6 p.m. in the Hancock Park area, Los Angeles Police Department said, according to KABC.
Neighbors in the area said they saw a man walk around the neighborhood for a while, the news outlet reported.
Tucker reportedly saw the man enter a house and called police, Los Angeles Magazine reported.
As he waited for officers to make their way to the house, Tucker ran into the house. A woman and her three children were inside the house, KABC reported.
The home invasion was partially caught on neighborhood video cameras.
Soon after, officers arrived and a man was seen walking out of the house in handcuffs, KABC reported.
“If you want a quote, call the LAPD because those guys are the real heroes,” Tucker told Los Angeles Magazine. “It was an extraordinary response.”
Police said that the suspect was medically evaluated and appeared to have been suffering from a mental illness episode, KABC reported.
In addition to “Kingdom,” Tucker also was in “Parenthood,” from 2011 to 2013, “Westworld” from 2018 to 2022, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” in 2003, and “Charlie’s Angels” in 2019, according to Variety.
