Kiefer Sutherland was arrested in Los Angeles following an alleged altercation with a rideshare driver.
The LAPD confirmed to Page Six on Tuesday that officers responded to a call early Monday regarding an alleged assault involving a rideshare driver near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood.
LAPD, who later identified the suspect as Sutherland, alleges the actor “entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim.”

LAPD noted the alleged victim did not sustain any injuries requiring medical treatment at the scene.
Documents obtained by Page Six on Tuesday confirmed that the “24” star was arrested and booked on Monday with a bail amount set at $50,000.
He was released at 11:30 PM local time the same day, and the Emmy winner is set to appear in court on Feb. 2.
NBC 4 News in Los Angeles was the first to report the news on Tuesday.
A rep for the actor did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
This isn’t the “Lost Boys” actor’s first brush with the law — Sutherland was previously charged with drunk driving in Los Angeles in September 2007 after failing a field sobriety test.
He was released on $25,000 bail at the time, and the actor pleaded no contest to a DUI charge and was sentenced to 48 days in jail, according to People.
He also faced assault charges after allegedly head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough in a bizarre 2009 incident in New York following a Metropolitan Museum of Art fundraiser.
McCollough and Sutherland later issued a joint statement — which included an apology by the “Stand By Me” star — and officials dropped charges in the incident, per CNN.
“I am sorry about what happened that night and sincerely regret that Mr. McCollough was injured,” Sutherland said in the statement, with McCollough responding, “I appreciate Mr. Sutherland’s statement and wish him well.”
The “Young Guns” actor has faced a challenging couple of years. His father, Hollywood icon Donald Sutherland, died at the age of 88 in 2024. The actor called his father “one of the most important actors in the history of film” in a social media statement.
