Suspect Electra Schrock, 47, is one of Sheen’s neighbours, who had “forced her way into his home and attacked him when he opened the door.”
Actor Charlie Sheen was attacked in his luxury Malibu home, police said Friday, with the suspect arrested and charged with assault and burglary. Officers were called to the “Two and a Half Men” star’s home for a “battery/disturbance,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
“We’re told she ripped Charlie’s shirt and attempted to strangle him,” the title reported, adding that Sheen was seen by paramedics but not taken to a hospital. TMZ said this was not the first confrontation between the neighbours, reporting that previous incidents had included a sticky liquid being squirted on Sheen’s car. Sheen, 58, is the son of actor Martin Sheen and notorious for being a Hollywood bad boy with episodes of substance abuse, destructive violence and relationships with porn actresses.
He has appeared in films including “Platoon,” “Wall Street” (alongside his father) and “Young Guns.” His television career has included “Spin City” and “Two and a Half Men,” a series loosely based on his hard-partying reputation.
