Adam Deacon, the 31-year old actor who won a Rising Star Bafta in 2012 for Anuvahood, has been arrested after failing to appear in court over harassment charges. The charges relate to a series of threatening tweets directed at filmmaker and Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke, who wrote Kidulthood and directed its follow-up Adulthood, both featuring Deacon.
Clarke, who also won a Rising Star Bafta in 2009 for his work on Adulthood, says Deacon sent him abusive messages on social media sites between March 5 and December 19 of last year.
