Perrette then grabbed a dollar bill from her glove compartment, rolled down her window to give it to him when he grabbed her wrist, stuck his whole head inside her car and asked for the time.

'He grabbed my wrist and put his whole head inside my car,' she wrote in an explanation of the incident, which she posted to Twitter on Wednesday.

'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."'

Perrette said the homeless man held her wrist for a moment before releasing it and leaving.

'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,' she wrote.

She added that she is learning to be smarter in these types of incidents.

'I kneed to know both sides, be SMART and be safe and give. But all of them at once. Be smart and safe. I am learning.'

The actress, who plays a forensic scientist on the hit show NCIS, also said she wondered if any of the other people in the cars at the red light had seen the incident but did nothing.

Shortly after she posted the explanation of the ordeal, she tweeted she is 'totally ok' and that the incident was 'just incredibly weird.' 

Tuesday night's incident comes nearly three months after Perrette was attacked by a 'psychotic homeless man' in November who she said punched her repeatedly in the face and made her fear for her life.

During that brutal encounter, which Perrette also recounted on Twitter, she said she was walking on a street near her home in Hollywood when a man suddenly grabbed her and struck her on the nose and forehead while threatening to kill her.

Perrette - who has also appeared in such films as The Ring and Almost Famous, and has performed in a rock band - later drew a sketch of the suspect for police, which helped lead to his arrest, she said.

Suspect David Merck, 45, has since been charged with one count each of making a criminal threat and false imprisonment, in connection to that attack.

Merck, who is homeless, has pleaded not guilty to both charges. He remains in custody held on a $60,000 bond and faces up to four years in prison.
