Neighbours at war with Guy Sebastian over mega mansion trends now

Long-running tensions between Guy Sebastian and an elderly neighbour have reignited after the singer was allegedly threatened during a frightening confrontation that spilled into the street.

The inaugural Australian Idol winner has sought an apprehended violence order after Phillip Richard Hanslow, 65, allegedly threatened to kill him and kicked over a boundary fence outside his home in the Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra.

NSW Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia officers called to a Maroubra home around 1.30 pm on Monday following reports of a neighbourhood dispute between two men and arrested a 65-year-old man.

Hanslow was taken to Maroubra Police Station, where he was charged with stalking with intent to cause physical harm and damaging property.
