Harbour was caught on camera in a bizarre moment over the weekend in Encinitas, California, after he was seen running off with another patron’s hat outside a local bar.<\/p>\n

The unusual incident reportedly took place Saturday at the Encinitas Ale House. In video footage viewed by TMZ<\/a>, the “Stranger Things” actor was seen entering the gastropub and later sprinting outside holding a white baseball cap.<\/p>\n

As he ran, he reportedly glanced back and shouted, “C’mon, dude, f-cking get me.”<\/p>\n

A visibly confused man appeared to follow him moments later, raising his hands and yelling, “What the f-ck did I do to you?” Several other patrons then stepped outside the bar, seemingly trying to understand what had just happened.<\/p>\n

A woman’s voice was also heard pleading, “Don’t get into a fight!” The situation reportedly ended without any physical confrontation, and the man eventually retrieved his hat before everyone went their separate ways.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness at the bar told TMZ that Harbour had initially walked past the venue with a friend when the man wearing the hat ran out to greet him.<\/p>\n

According to the witness, Harbour’s friend mentioned they were heading to meet some women, but Harbour then suggested going to the man’s house instead, a comment the man found unsettling.<\/p>\n

The person then returned inside the bar shortly afterward. Not long after, Harbour allegedly entered the bar, grabbed the man’s hat, and ran back outside.<\/p>\n

The witness claims Harbour threw the hat on the ground, began asking people questions about the Iraq War, grew emotional, and at one point knelt down to pray.<\/p>\n

The incident comes amid recent rumors involving Harbour and his “Stranger Things” co-star Millie Bobby Brown.<\/p>\n

A report had claimed Brown filed a bullying or harassment complaint against Harbour during filming of the show’s final season, but both Brown and executive producer Shawn Levy have firmly denied the allegation.<\/p>\n

Brown later emphasized her close relationship with Harbour, telling Deadline that the two share a strong bond after years of playing a father-daughter duo on the Netflix series.<\/p>\n

Their connection was also evident during the most recent “Stranger Things” premiere, where Brown and Harbour were seen smiling, laughing, and sharing a hug on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

When asked about working alongside Harbour, Brown told Extra<\/a>, “It’s been amazing. We’re so lucky to have each other. This show means so much to both of us, and to everyone here.”<\/p>\n

Harbour echoed the sentiment in an interview with Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, saying, “I adore her, I’ve been proud to watch all of them grow up to become such great artists.”<\/p>\n

David Harbour’s Split From Lily Allen Sparks Public Dispute Over Alleged Affair Claims\"David<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Harbour has also remained in the spotlight due to developments in his personal life following his split from singer Lily Allen.<\/p>\n

The pair, who married in 2020, separated in December, after Allen publicly addressed the breakdown of their relationship on her recent album “West End Girl.”<\/p>\n

On the record, Allen references a woman named “Madeline,” whom she alleges was involved with Harbour during their open marriage. The woman was later identified as Natalie Tippett, who has since denied claims that she had a three-year affair with the “Stranger Things” actor.<\/p>\n

Despite the public fallout, Harbour and Tippett have reportedly not fully severed ties and continue to follow one another on Instagram.<\/p>\n

In a series of Instagram Stories shared Sunday, shortly after Allen’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” Tippett spoke out against what she described as a “false narrative.”<\/p>\n

She said she felt “extremely violated” by how she was portrayed in Allen’s music and denied having “a three-year affair with anyone.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Harbour recently drew attention to himself after a bizarre incident outside a California bar where he was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7280,56114,7,24100,9,8,56109,56113,56110,56111,56112],"class_list":["post-103344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-bipolar-disorder","tag-bizarre-bar","tag-california","tag-california-bar","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-david-harbour","tag-encinitas-ale-house","tag-lily-allen","tag-millie-bobby-brown","tag-physical-confrontation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
