Kiefer Sutherland Arrested After Alleged Assault of Rideshare Driver

Actor Kiefer Sutherland was arrested following an alleged incident involving a rideshare driver, according to police reports. The incident reportedly occurred late at night and led to Sutherland being taken into custody after authorities were called to the scene.

Law enforcement officials state that the altercation took place during a disagreement between the actor and the driver. Police allege that the situation escalated, resulting in physical contact. Officers responded after receiving a call and conducted interviews with those involved before making an arrest.

According to preliminary police statements, the rideshare driver reported being assaulted during the encounter. Authorities have not released extensive details about the circumstances leading up to the confrontation, and no serious injuries have been publicly reported at this time.

Sutherland was booked and later released, pending further legal proceedings. Charges, if formally filed, would be addressed through the appropriate court process. As with all criminal cases, the allegations remain claims until proven in court.
