A woman is suing Charlie Sheen, claiming the actor knocked her out during an argument at his home.

Brittany Ashland of Santa Monica, Calif., says Sheen grabbed her by the hair and slammed her onto the marble floor of his Agoura Hills home, knocking her unconscious and opening a gash on her lip that required seven stitches.Ashland also contends Sheen took off her bloody dress, put it in a trash bag and threatened to kill her if she told anyone what had happened. She claims that they had been dating since July. The lawsuit, filed Thursday, seeks unspecified damages.
