Ilie Dumitrescu's son, admitted to the Obregia Psychiatric Hospital after he wrecked a store in Bucharest and got into an argument with his partner

On Tuesday evening, Toto Dumitrescu, son of former footballer Ilie Dumitrescu, was taken into custody and hospitalized at the Alexandru Obregia Psychiatric Hospital following a disturbance at a store in Sector 4 of Bucharest and an altercation with his partner on the street. According to police reports, the incident was reported around 6 PM via a call to the emergency number 112. A woman informed authorities that a man had entered the store and violently destroyed and overturned several products displayed there. After leaving the store, he reportedly had a confrontation with a nearby woman.

Judicial sources confirmed to News.ro that the person in question is actor Toto Dumitrescu. Upon arrival, the police found him agitated and unwilling to cooperate in clarifying the situation. To prevent further incidents, officers restrained him and transported him to the Obregia Hospital, where the on-duty doctor ordered his admission. The police identified the woman involved in the altercation as Toto Dumitrescu’s girlfriend. She did not wish to file a complaint, did not request a protection order, and refused risk assessment or medical care.

In this case, a criminal file has been opened ex officio for disturbing public order and domestic violence.

Previously, in April 2026, Toto Dumitrescu was sentenced to two years in prison with a suspended term after leaving the scene of a traffic accident that occurred in September 2025 on Primavera Boulevard in Bucharest. The accident took place on September 14 in the area of Primavera Boulevard in the capital. Toto Dumitrescu, driving an SUV, hit a black Audi driven by Ilinca Amariei, ranked 384 in the WTA.

After the collision, the actor's car bounced off and damaged another vehicle at the intersection. The young athlete remained trapped inside her car and was taken to the hospital with injuries to her legs. Later, she requested discharge. Following the crash, Toto Dumitrescu left the scene and was later found in an apartment in Ilfov. Although he initially denied drug use, tests indicated the presence of cocaine.

Less than a month prior, the actor had escaped a similar case after being pulled over for traffic violations. Although urine tests showed traces of cocaine, blood tests did not confirm consumption, and the case was closed.

The recent incident adds to a pattern of behavior involving legal troubles and alleged substance abuse. Toto Dumitrescu's history includes previous legal issues, including a suspended sentence for leaving the scene of a traffic accident and allegations of drug use. His actions have drawn attention from both the media and the public, highlighting concerns about his conduct and potential mental health issues.

Authorities have emphasized the importance of addressing such incidents promptly to ensure public safety and provide necessary support to those affected. The involvement of law enforcement and the psychiatric hospital underscores the seriousness of the situation and the need for appropriate intervention.

As the investigation continues, more details may emerge regarding the nature of the conflict between Toto Dumitrescu and his partner, as well as any underlying factors contributing to his behavior. Legal experts suggest that the outcome of this case could influence future actions against him, particularly given his prior convictions and ongoing legal challenges.

The community and local authorities are monitoring the situation closely, hoping for a resolution that addresses both the immediate concerns and long-term implications of such incidents. Public discourse surrounding Toto Dumitrescu's actions reflects broader discussions about accountability, mental health, and the responsibilities of individuals in positions of public interest.
