LOS ANGELES: Weston Cage, the son of renowned actor Nicolas Cage, willingly turned himself in to Los Angeles police after an alleged assault earlier this year.

“LAPD responded, and after meeting with all parties, a police report was completed,” the statement continued.
The police investigated the incident, documented it, and then forwarded it to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. Last month, Cage was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, resulting in a felony warrant and a $150,000 bail.
Christina Fulton, Weston’s mother, told CNN about the upsetting circumstances surrounding the April 28 incident.
“On April 28th, 2024, around 5:30 pm I received urgent messages from friends of my son, Weston Cage regarding his deteriorating mental state, urging me to come help. When I arrived to offer support and console him, he was already in the midst of a manic rage. Within minutes, I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries.”
“Despite my desperate pleas to the responding Police officers to detain him for a mental health evaluation, the Police officers refused my request and neglected my urgent need for my medical attention,” Fulton continued. “As a mother, I am deeply saddened and concerned about Weston’s on-going mental health crisis. It is imperative that he receives the help he desperately needs.”
Despite Fulton’s appeals for a mental health evaluation for Weston, police officials allegedly refused her request. She expressed profound concern about her son’s continued mental health problems, underlining the critical need for expert assistance.
CNN has contacted the LAPD for additional information, as well as representatives for Nicolas and Weston Cage.
Weston Cage, 33, is Nicolas Cage’s eldest child and is well-known for his musical and acting careers.
