TWO and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen has been charged with assaulting his wife, Brooke Mueller.

Sheen, 44, appeared in court to face one felony charge and two misdemeanour counts stemming from an incident in the couple’s holiday home in Colorado.

However, his wife’s lawyer appealed for charges against Sheen to be dropped.

Yale Galanter told Pitkin County Court in Aspen that Ms Mueller and Sheen were “mortified” by the public attention surrounding the incident.

Sheen, the star of Oscar-winning films such as Platoon and Wall Street, allegedly held a knife to Ms Mueller’s throat.

The judge approved a request from prosecutors and defence lawyers to lift an order barring Sheen from having any contact with his wife.

Other provisions of the protective order issued earlier remain in effect.

Sheen is required to seek help for anger management issues and to refrain from consuming alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs other than in the quantities prescribed by a doctor.

Sheen and Ms Mueller married in 2008 and are the parents of twin boys.

They spoke briefly in the courtroom and then left in separate cars.

Mr Galanter stated the Sheens would be returning to California on the same plane.

Sheen remains free on $US8500 ($A9829) bond posted following his arrest after a call to police was made from the Aspen home Ms Mueller had rented.
