In a shocking incident, Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen was reportedly assaulted by his neighbor at his residence in Malibu, California.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) confirmed the incident, which occurred around 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
According to TMZ, the female suspect, identified as Electra Schrock, allegedly tore Sheen's shirt and attempted to strangle him before returning to her own residence. The police were alerted to the incident following a "battery/disturbance call" at Sheen's home.
A spokesperson for the LASD revealed to Business Insider that upon arriving at the scene and contacting the parties involved, deputies identified Sheen as a victim of assault. "The suspect, Electra Schrock, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, force likely to create great bodily injury, and residential burglary," the LASD stated.
Sheen, known for his roles in "Two and a Half Men" and "Major League," reportedly told LASD deputies that he was unsure of the motive behind the attack. He claimed that Schrock had sprayed an unknown sticky substance on his car prior to the physical confrontation. The 58-year-old actor also alleged that his neighbor had littered his doorstep with trash a day before the assault.
Despite the severity of the incident, paramedics who rushed to the scene found that Sheen did not require hospitalization. Representatives for the actor have yet to respond to a request for comment by KABC-TV.
Schrock, 47, made her court appearance on Friday. The details of the proceedings remain undisclosed.
In a recent interview with People magazine, Sheen revealed that he has been leading a sober life for nearly six years. "Next month I'll be six years sober," he shared. "I have a very consistent lifestyle now. It's all about single dad stuff, and raising my 14-year-old twin boys Max and Bob."
Sheen went on to describe his daily routine, which includes waking up early, catching up on the news, working out, answering emails, and helping his children with their morning routine. He admitted to quitting alcohol in 2017 after an incident where he was too intoxicated to drive his daughter to an appointment.
"So I had to call my friend Tony to take us," he recounted. "We got her there on time, but it broke my heart because she was in the backseat, and I could just tell she was thinking, 'Why isn't dad driving?' So I got home and sat with that for the rest of the day. And the next morning, I just stopped."
Reflecting on his journey to sobriety, Sheen said, "I think the first month I was like, I'm going to have to give it a month, just see if I feel any better, and if my interactions with those that are closest to me improve. And they did. And I'm like, all right, I'm going to go another month. And then it got traction. I had momentum."
