Kiefer Sutherland arrested for assaulting ride-share driver

Actor Kiefer Sutherland, known for 24 and The Lost Boys, was arrested Monday on suspicion of assaulting a ride-share driver, Los Angeles police said.

“The investigation determined that the suspect, later identified as Kiefer Sutherland, entered a ride-share vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim,” police said.

The 59-year-old Canadian-British actor was taken into custody after a call in Hollywood shortly after midnight and released hours later on $50,000 bail. Police said the driver did not require medical attention.

Sutherland’s representatives did not immediately respond to AFP requests for comment.

He is the son of actor Donald Sutherland, who died in 2024, and is known for 24 (2001–2010), Stand By Me (1986), The Lost Boys (1987), and The Three Musketeers (1993).
