Spanish Actress In Crossbow Attack HorrorA stalker obsessed with a young Spanish actress has been arrested after he attempted to shoot her with a crossbow and arrow because she had failed to reply to his love letters.
Sara Casanovas, 25, who has appeared in several popular TV series, had just finished a theatre performance when she narrowly avoided being struck in the face outside the stage doors.
The arrow instead hit a male bystander and became caught in his jacket, saving him from serious injury.
Casanovas' suspected attacker is a 39-year-old German who was wrestled to the ground and arrested after the incident.
He was found to be carrying a military-style backpack that contained a second crossbow, arrows with harpoon-style tips, a can of petrol, handcuffs, rope and a canister of mace - a tear gas spray.
Also in the bag was a poster from a play in which Casasnovas had performed a few months ago, police said.
The man had reportedly become obsessed with the actress after seeing her on television and had been sending her love letters.
He is understood to have intercepted her outside the theatre where she had been performing in Night of the Iguana in order to demand that she send him a reply.
The suspect launched his attack when Casanovas said she wanted nothing to do with him, prompting friends of the actress to rush to protect her.
She was taken to hospital suffering from a panic attack but was not injured in the incident.
