Britney Spears got a welfare check from the Los Angeles Police Department after posting a video of herself dancing with large knives earlier this week. TMZ reports that someone from the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit made the decision, and deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department visited Spears’ home on Wednesday. They were assured by members of her security team that she was fine, but Spears declined to speak with them herself. She wrote in the caption to the original video that the knives were not real, adding, “Halloween is soon.” But they could be heard clanking when hit together, and in a follow-up video, Britney appeared to have a bandage on her arm as well as a cut on her thigh. The LAPD also performed a welfare check on Spears in January sparked by her online behavior.
