(CNN) � ’s son Weston Cage has turned himself into police in Los Angeles after an incident that took place earlier this year.
According to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department, the younger Cage “voluntarily surrendered himself� to authorities on Wednesday, following an incident on April 28 in which he allegedly “punched two victims multiple times, causing injury.�
“LAPD responded, and after meeting with all parties, a police report was completed,� the statement continued.

In a statement sent to CNN on Friday, Weston’s mother Christina Fulton said, “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.�
CNN has reached out to LAPD for further comment, as well as to representatives for Nicolas Cage and Weston Cage.
