Kiefer Sutherland Arrested After Alleged Ride-Hail Assault in Hollywood
Good evening and we begin tonight with breaking news out of Los Angeles involving a well-known Hollywood name.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland has been arrested after police say he allegedly assaulted and threatened a ride-hail driver during a late-night incident in Hollywood. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to a call just after midnight at a busy intersection near the Hollywood Hills. What they found has quickly drawn international attention.
Police say Sutherland entered a ride-hail vehicle and during that encounter, he is accused of physically assaulting the driver and making what authorities describe as criminal threats. The driver, police say, did not suffer serious injuries and did not require medical treatment. Still, the incident was serious enough for officers to take Sutherland into custody at the scene.

He was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and was later released from jail a few hours afterward after posting a fifty-thousand-dollar bond. Jail records show his first court appearance is scheduled for early February. As of now, Sutherland’s representatives have not publicly responded to requests for comment.
For many viewers, the name Kiefer Sutherland is closely tied to his iconic role as Jack Bauer on the hit television series “24,” a show that defined a generation of action-packed, high-stakes television. He also starred in films like “Stand by Me,” “A Few Good Men,” “The Lost Boys,” and “Young Guns,” and more recently appeared as the president in the series “Designated Survivor.” He is also the son of the late Donald Sutherland, one of Hollywood’s most respected actors.
But this is not Sutherland’s first run-in with the law. Over the years, he has faced several alcohol-related arrests. In 2007, he served jail time after pleading no contest to drunken driving and violating probation. There have been other incidents since then, including arrests that did not ultimately lead to convictions. This history adds another layer of scrutiny to the current case.
The investigation is ongoing and police have not released further details about what led up to the confrontation inside the vehicle. Still, the case raises broader questions about celebrity accountability and the safety of ride-hail drivers, who often work alone during late-night hours.
For now, Kiefer Sutherland remains free on bond as he awaits his court date and the legal process will determine what happens next. We’ll continue to follow this story closely and bring you updates as more information becomes available.
That’s the latest on this developing story. Stay with us for more news as it unfolds.
