Kiefer Sutherland was arrested in Los Angeles this week following an alleged confrontation with a rideshare driver, according to police and court records. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed on Tuesday that officers responded to a call early Monday morning about an alleged assault near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood. Investigators later identified the suspect as the Emmy-winning actor.
In a statement, LAPD alleged that Sutherland “entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim.” Based on that report, officers arrested the actor on suspicion of criminal threats. Police added that the alleged victim did not suffer any injuries requiring medical treatment at the scene.
