Actor Kiefer Sutherland, 59, has been taken into custody by the LAPD after a dramatic night on Sunset Boulevard. According to police reports, Sutherland entered a ride-share vehicle and violently assaulted the driver before making menacing threats towards them.
The incident occurred around 12:15 a.m., prompting an investigation that revealed Sutherland's involvement. While the victim did not sustain any serious injuries at the scene, law enforcement is still continuing their inquiry.
Sutherland was subsequently arrested and booked into jail on an unspecified felony charge. He was released after posting $50,000 bail just hours later. His next court appearance has been scheduled for February 2.
The actor, best known for his roles in television's "24" and as a Hollywood heartthrob since the 1980s, is facing serious allegations following this incident. Sutherland's father, late actor Donald Sutherland, is also a notable figure in the entertainment industry.
Details surrounding the altercation are still emerging, but it has left fans and fellow celebrities stunned by the news of Sutherland's arrest.

, you know how sometimes people can lose control in a situation? It's scary to think that someone who's been on TV before, especially one who's played characters like Jack Bauer, could do something like this. But at the same time, it makes me think about how celebrities are human too, they're not immune to making mistakes 
. I mean, I was in school last week and someone made a stupid comment that got everyone talking, but it wasn't as serious as what Sutherland did. It just goes to show that even famous people can have bad days 
. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on the news to see how this all plays out 
I'm really surprised to hear about Kiefer Sutherland getting arrested, especially considering his Hollywood A-list status 
He's had such a long career and been part of so many iconic shows and movies - 24 was a fave of mine too! 
His family's reputation is at stake here, and I feel bad for them too... his dad was a legend 
the $50k bail is wild, hope he can get his life back on track soon. celebrities aren't immune to drama, but still shocking to see someone like kiefer in this situation 
The guy's got talent for sure, but it looks like he's using his acting skills to play the part of a real-life psychopath. His dad was always so proud of him too... must be hard on him now. 
Can't say I'm surprised though, all that fame and privilege can make you forget what's considered acceptable behavior. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out... or if he'll get a "character development" boost from his next stint behind bars 
. And now this? It's like he's living it out in real life 
. I'm all for giving people second chances and all but this is getting serious fast 
. Hope he gets help or something before it's too late 
At the same time, I kinda feel bad for the ride-share driver - it's not right that they had to go through that. But on the other hand, Kiefer Sutherland is a total rockstar and I don't want him to get off scot-free just because he's famous... 
Just saw that Kiefer Sutherland got arrested for assaulting a ride-share driver 
. I mean, we've all heard rumors about him before, but to actually see him get arrested? It's just wild. Can't wait for more info on this case...
they just seem so out of touch sometimes 
i feel bad for the driver tho, hope they're okay 
I mean, he's always been known for playing intense characters on screen, but this is crazy in real life 
. His dad was a total legend and still is, and to think his son is facing serious allegations like this... it's all very shocking 
like a Hollywood superstar! But now he's allegedly losing it? 
I'm not condoning his behavior at all, but you have to wonder what led him to do something so crazy. Was he under pressure or just lost it?! 
I'm really worried about Kiefer Sutherland right now 
. But this whole thing is just so messed up. Assaulting someone and making threats? That's not the kind of person we need to be idolizing 
.

. I'm keeping an eye on his court case, hoping for a fair outcome
