Actor Kiefer Sutherland, a film and television star since the 1980s, was arrested Monday after allegedly physically assaulting and threatening a ride-share driver, police said.
The 59-year-old was arrested at Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood after officers responded to a report of an assault around 12:15 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department Officer Kevin Terzes said by email Tuesday.
“The investigation determined that the suspect, later identified as Kiefer Sutherland, entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim,” Terzes said.
Sutherland’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday night.
Terzes said the victim didn’t suffer any injuries that required medical treatment at the scene, and added that an investigation into the incident was ongoing.
Sutherland was booked into jail a little after 4 a.m. on an unspecified felony charge, according to Los Angeles County jail records. He was assigned a $50,000 bail and bonded out about 7 hours later, the records show. The actor was scheduled to appear in court Feb. 2.
NBC Los Angeles first reported Sutherland’s arrest.
Sutherland made a mark as a heartthrob, rich kid and sometime bad boy on the big screen in the 1980s before finding a stride on television’s “24” in the 2000s. His father is late actor Donald Sutherland.
