The 38-year-old actor was cleared of a felony charge last month after a three-day jury trial. The jury found him guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.

Malloy said the sentence "has to send a message to the community that we're just not going to live like this."

The actor told jurors that he took out a knife that day to try to ward off people, including a woman who punched his girlfriend. He said he then accidentally stabbed a man during an altercation.

"I sincerely apologize to everyone involved," Diamond said at the hearing Thursday. "This was the single most terrifying experience of my life ... This is all I've been able to think about for the last six months."
