Charlie Sheen, star of “Two and a Half Men,” was reportedly attacked by his neighbor, who forced her way into his Los Angeles-area home, tore his shirt and attempted to strangle him. The incident occurred when Sheen opened the door upon hearing a knock, according to law enforcement sources.
The 47-year-old suspect, who was also Sheen’s neighbor, eventually returned to her house. Police informed TMZ that she was later apprehended and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and burglary for breaking into the actor’s home.
Although paramedics arrived at the scene, Sheen did not require hospitalization. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reacted promptly to the situation on Wednesday.
According to legal sources cited by TMZ, Sheen has had previous run-ins with the detained woman. She allegedly squirted his car with a sticky liquid on another occasion. The actor expressed uncertainty as to what sparked the aggression but claimed the same woman had also dumped trash at his doorstep on Tuesday.
The altercation, which took place earlier this week, appears to have been premeditated. According to sources who spoke to TMZ, Sheen had previously had a chat with the neighbor in which he suggested “letting bygones be bygones” after her previous transgressions.
The incident has raised several questions among Sheen’s team, with some officials criticizing the lack of sufficient security measures in place at the actor’s residence, which could potentially put him in harm’s way. Former colleagues of the actor have also voiced their concerns and expressed their support for him during this challenging time. Sheen and his representatives have not commented on the incident.
