Bam Margera is a danger to himself and others, according to the police officers who located him in L.A., and promptly put him on a 5150 psychiatric hold … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us … LAPD officers tracked down Bam Sunday afternoon by tracking his phone, and they eventually found him at Trejo’s Tacos — the L.A. hot spot owned by Danny Trejo.
We’re told they made contact with Bam and found his erratic speech and behavior — combined with recent suicidal threats he’s made — enough reason to call in a psychiatric evaluation team. Once they met with Bam, they determined he needed to be 5150’d.

Our sources say Bam was taken to a mental health facility, where, by law, he can be held for up to 72 hours. It’s unclear if he’s still getting treatment.
