"The suspect, Electra Schrock, was arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Force Likely to Create Great Bodily Injury… and Residential Burglary…"

Law enforcement sources tell Fox News Digital, "Sheen heard knocking on his door, slightly opened it and saw his neighbor Electra Schrock standing there. Schrock pushed her way into Sheen’s home and began grabbing at him and his neck. Sheen tried to get away from Schrock, but she pursued him through his home."

After that, "Schrock grabbed at Sheen’s neck multiple times, eventually ripping his shirt. Sheen was able to call 911 while he was being attacked and while on the line with 911 continued to yell at Schrock to let him go. Neighbors heard the commotion and were able to intervene and help get the suspect out of the residence. Sheen told police that the suspect lives above him"… and said he had "a previous issue with Schrock, prior to this incident."

Schrock had another felony arrest in March 2023. 

The suspect is currently in custody at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood and is scheduled to appear in court today.

Sheen is starring in the new TV series "Bookie." The actor joined "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre again to portray a fictional version of himself alongside comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, who plays a Los Angeles bookie.

"Look, for a while, there wasn't much about my life to complain about," Sheen told People magazine. "I lived a life where people were really happy when I showed up, and they were sad when I left."

"That went away when everything turned to s---," he added. "It turned into, 'Oh, God. Here he comes,' and then 'Is he gone? Good.'"

Sheen previously compared his downward spiral in 2011 to a "demonic possession" during an interview on "Loose Women." However, he now feels ready to return to the spotlight after spending the last six years sober with a "predictable routine."
