HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Pauley Perrette is claiming she has gone through yet another scary experience involving a homeless man.

The NCIS star posted a mini essay of the encounter on Twitter Wednesday, only two months after she testified in court against David Merck, a 45-year-old transient man who assaulted and threatened to kill her back in November.

"And yes again," the actress wrote of her second encounter describing the man as a "pretty off homeless guy" who grabbed her hand and "put his whole head inside my car" after she offered him a dollar while at a stop light in Hollywood.

"He held my arm and then said, 'What Time [is] it?' He was in my car and I was scared. I looked at my dashboard and first said, 'I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus Christ.' Then said to him, 'It's 5:37,' " she wrote. "He held my wrist for a moment, then released and left. I have a tactical knife and a taser in my car next to me, but I thought about that dollar to give him first. Did not arm myself."

"I am learning. I need to know both sides, be SMART and be safe and give. But all of them at once," she continued. "I wonder if any other drivers in rush hour traffic saw him grab me through my window and did nothing."

In a follow-up tweet, Perrette assured fans that she was doing fine posting " Hey, I'm totally okay. It was just incredibly weird. Really weird."

Perrette is best known for playing Abby Sciuto on the CBS drama NCIS, which airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. She champions several causes, including animal rescue, LGBT rights, and works with the homeless in several areas around the U.S.
