Kiefer Sutherland Accused of Attacking Uber Driver as Prosecutors Weigh Charges

Prosecutors signal a charging decision is likely shortly before his Feb. 2 court date.

Overview

  • LAPD says Sutherland entered a rideshare in Hollywood, assaulted the driver and made criminal threats.
  • Law enforcement sources and the driver allege multiple punches and an attempted choke, with witnesses saying he appeared under the influence.
  • The driver fled and called 911, and dispatch audio reviewed by Fox News indicates a brief chase before it ended.
  • Reports say the driver did not require medical treatment, and a dash-cam may have captured parts of the incident.
  • Sutherland was arrested on suspicion of felony criminal threats and released on $50,000 bond, with the case under review and charges expected closer to the court date.
