Kiefer Sutherland arrested in Hollywood on suspicion of making criminal threats after rideshare altercation

Kiefer Sutherland was arrested Monday after allegedly getting into an altercation with a rideshare driver, the Daily Mail has confirmed.

Sutherland, 59, was arrested after reports of a driver being assaulted, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Daily Mail has contacted Sutherland's representatives for comment but has not yet received a response.

According to the LAPD, officers responded to a radio call about an 'assault involving a rideshare driver' shortly after midnight on Monday.

The suspect, who was later identified as Sutherland, allegedly got into the vehicle near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue and assaulted the driver before threatening them.

Sutherland was subsequently arrested on suspicion of criminal threats. The felony charge covers situations in which a person threatens to kill someone or cause serious bodily injury in order to inspire fear.

Following his arrest, Sutherland was booked at 4:23 a.m. at the LAPD's Hollywood division. 

According to police, the rideshare driver didn't have any injuries that required medical attention at the scene.

The 24 star was released at 11:30 a.m. on Monday on a $50,000 bond, according to LA Sheriff's Department records viewed by the Daily Mail.

The LAPD noted that detectives from its Hollywood Division are continuing to investigate the incident.

An initial court date for the case has been set for February 2. 

Sutherland's arrest was previously reported on by NBC4 in Los Angeles.
