The incident occurred just after midnight on Monday, when officers responded to a call reporting an assault at an intersection near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, south of Hollywood Hills.
Police stated Sutherland, 59, is accused of assaulting the driver after entering the vehicle and allegedly making criminal threats. The driver did not require medical attention, authorities confirmed.
Sutherland was booked on suspicion of felony criminal threats and released a few hours later after posting a $50,000 bond, according to jail records.
He is scheduled to appear in court on February 2.
The 24 actor has not yet issued a public statement regarding the arrest. The Hollywood Division of the LAPD is currently investigating the matter.
This isn’t Sutherland’s first brush with legal trouble involving driving. He served 48 days in jail in 2007 after pleading no contest to a drunk driving charge and was previously convicted of drunk driving in 2004.
Sutherland is widely recognized for his role as Jack Bauer in the television series 24, as well as appearances in films like The Lost Boys and Young Guns. He also starred in films directed by the late Rob Reiner, including Stand by Me and A Few Good Men.
