Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland has been arrested after allegedly assaulting and threatening a ride-share driver in Hollywood, police have said.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Sutherland \u201centered a ride-share vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats\u201d in an incident at 00:15 PST (08:15 GMT) on Monday.<\/p>\n

The victim was not injured in the incident, the LAPD added.<\/p>\n

Sutherland, 59, was released after paying a bond of $50,000 (\u00a337,000). He is due to appear in court on 2 February. The BBC has contacted his representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood and is under investigation by the LAPD\u2019s Hollywood Division.<\/p>\n

Sutherland, known for roles such as special agent Jack Bauer on Fox\u2019s 24, and as the US president in Designated Survivor, is the son of actor Donald Sutherland.<\/p>\n

The Canadian actor has been arrested several times in the past, and in 2007, he was sentenced to 48 days in jail for driving under the influence and violating probation.<\/p>\n

He was arrested for assault in 2009, although the charge was later dropped, and was most recently arrested after making an illegal U-turn in Hollywood in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
