A Hertfordshire force spokesman said: "Police were called just after 12.30pm on Sunday following a report that a 42-year-old man had approached a member of the public who was unknown to him, appearing unwell and in an agitated state in Hemel Hempstead.
"Officers arrived and accompanied the man to hospital so he could be checked over. He was sectioned under the Mental Health Act."
The troubled ex-footballer was previously sectioned under the Act in February.
He spent more than a fortnight at Middleton St George Hospital, in Darlington, County Durham, before being released.
At the weekend, Gazza's sister Anna Gascoigne pleaded with fans of the troubled ex-footballer not to buy him a drink.
In an interview, she spoke of her fears that Gascoigne would die if he was not sectioned.
She said: "I'm begging his friends and strangers, please don't give him a drink.
"If he offers you money to get a drink, don't take it. Or you will have blood on your hands.
"I am not saying these words lightly. I want Paul to be sectioned to save his life. That is the last hope.
"There is nothing else. I fear every day he'll die."
