Narrative:

An SR22 checked on 1-2 minutes after I took the position. I was sequencing three other SR22's into the airport and a regional jet; also giving en route services to three other aircraft IFR and VFR. After check on I gave the subject SR22 a 090 heading for sequencing. After about 5 miles and 1 minute he stated he had a near miss and had to turn to avoid what looked like an acrobatic aircraft. I immediately gave him traffic on the aerobatic aircraft which was at his 6 o'clock; 1 mile and 600 feet above him. He said that aircraft tail spun down through his altitude and created a near miss situation. The aerobatic aircraft was practicing inside a hot acrobatic box but was supposed to stay below 4500. This incident occurred at 5000. Recommendation; aerobatic aircraft must stay within the aerobatic box limitations.
