Kiefer Sutherland arrested after allegedly assaulting a rideshare driver

Kiefer Sutherland, the actor best known for torturing people on television, was arrested early Monday morning after he allegedly attacked a rideshare driver. Per ABC News, Sutherland entered a rideshare car just after midnight on Monday morning and allegedly assaulted and threatened the driver. Police arrived and detained the actor around 12:15 a.m., and he was bailed out the next morning on a $50,000 bond. He’s scheduled to appear in court on February 2. The driver reportedly did not require medical attention and suffered no serious injuries.

This is not Sutherland’s first run-in with the law. Between 1989 and 2007, he was charged with four DUIs. In 2009, he head-butted fashion designer Jack McCollough, whose representatives characterized the incident as a “vicious, violent, unprovoked attack.” At the time, Sutherland accused McCollough of pushing Brooke Shields, who had no idea what Sutherland was talking about. The charges were later dropped.
