A Dutch man accused of stalking actress Keira Knightley was arrested in Britain this week.
The actress – who is currently starring in the West End production of The Misanthrope at The Comedy Theatre in London – called police last Thursday night to report a suspicious middle-aged man, who regularly shows up to the theater to see her.
“Keira felt threatened by this guy who turned up a number of time and tried to speak to her. He did not make any specific threats to her but she was concerned enough to call the police,” a source told The Sun Saturday.
Cops arrived and collared 41-year-old Mariek Daniluk, who has been charged with harassment. He is expected to appear in court later this month.
Police have confirmed the man was arrested outside the theater over harassment allegations.
“A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of harassment on Thursday (04.02.10). The arrest follows concern expressed by a woman,” a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told the paper.
This is not the first time Keira has been panicked by stalkers. Two years ago, the 24-year-old former Pirates of the Caribbean star uprooted her life and moved to America after developing five stalkers across the pond.
“I’m frightened out of my wits every time I see one of them,” she said at the time.
