Charlie Sheen Cops Say Neighbor Tried To Strangle Him

Love thy neighbor … or maybe not in Charlie Sheen‘s case.

Law enforcement tells TMZ … LASD responded to Charlie’s L.A. area home Wednesday for a neighborly dispute. Officers say Charlie’s neighbor, a 47-year-old woman, forced her way into his home and attacked him when he opened the door after hearing a knock.

We’re told she ripped Charlie’s shirt and attempted to strangle him … and then went back to her own house.

Our sources say paramedics came to the scene … but Charlie was not transported to the hospital.

We’re told Charlie doesn’t understand what prompted the incident but this apparently isn’t his first issue with her … he told deputies he believes the same woman squirted some type of sticky liquid on his car recently.

A source close to Charlie adds to TMZ that he spoke to the woman after the car incident … and their conversation was something to the effect of letting bygones be bygones.

They also tell us the woman dumped trash in front of Charlie’s door a day before the attack. Charlie is the one who called 911.
