‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Star Busted Again

Troubled actor Nicholas Brendon — who became a star as demon-fighter Xander Harris on the hit series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" — was arrested for viciously attacking his girlfriend in a bar!

It's the latest humiliating arrest for the 46-year-old star, who's been arrested repeatedly for drunken assaults — and even attempted to commit suicide on camera! Police say that he was at the Saguaro Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif., on Oct. 12 — when he grabbed the unnamed woman as she attempted to leave.

Witnesses claim that Brendon first seized her by the arm, and then yanked her down by her hair. Shocked hotel employees called the cops, with Brendon being booked on charges of felony domestic violence, plus violating a protective order taken by the woman.

The arrest added to Brendon's long rap sheet — which includes a drunken brawl with cops in 2010, and an Oct. 2014 arrest at a hotel while the actor was attending a horror convention in Boise, Idaho. Police said a ranting Brendon had caused "malicious injury to property" there after breaking a decorative dish.

Just four months later, the struggling star was arrested for trashing his hotel room at another convention in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Brendon later stormed off the set during an appearance on "The Dr. Phil Show" — and The National ENQUIRER revealed that security footage from Saratoga Springs, N.Y. caught him slashing at his wrists outside a hotel!

The actor wasn’t charged in either incident, but his luck ran out on Sept. 30, 2015 — when police were summoned to the Springs Motel by Nicholas’ girlfriend after he allegedly choked her, stole her car keys, hurled her cell phone and threw a chair against the wall. The girlfriend wasn't identified in the police report, but a department spokesman confirmed that “there was alcohol involved.”

After storming off the "Dr. Phil" set, Nicholas wrote on his Facebook page: “My illnesses and addictions are a daily struggle for me…I’m the first to admit I’ve messed up, a lot, and I’ve hurt people I care about and who care about me.”
