Kiefer Sutherland Arrested in Hollywood Over Alleged Assault on Rideshare Driver

The investigation continues with an initial Los Angeles court date set for February 2.

Overview

  • Los Angeles police say Sutherland entered a rideshare vehicle, assaulted the driver, and made criminal threats near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue.
  • Officers responded around 12:15 a.m. Monday, with some outlets linking the timing to post–Golden Globes activity.
  • The LAPD reported the driver did not require medical treatment.
  • Sutherland was booked and later released after posting $50,000 bail, according to multiple reports.
  • He has not publicly commented, and coverage notes a separate 2009 assault accusation that was resolved without a conviction.
