Actor Kiefer Sutherland has turned himself into New York police for questioning over an assault claim against him.
The 24 star allegedly headbutted Proenza Schouler fashion designer Jack McCollough at a Met Costume Institute Gala after party on Tuesday night.
The actor arrived at the NYPD First Precinct on Thursday afternoon. He was handed desk appearance ticket for an upcoming arraignment date.
Sutherland is currently under a probation order in Los Angeles relating to a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI).
He spent 48 days in jail but could be sent back to prison if he is found to have violated the terms of his release by fighting with McCollough.
Following the interview Sutherland, 42, given a ticket, ordered to appear in court June 22 and released on his own recognisance. The minor charge is similar to a speeding ticket.
Detectives were planning to question actress Brooke Shields as a witness because she was at the trendy SoHo nightspot SubMercer, in the basement of the Mercer Hotel, where the altercation took place. Drinks at the ultra-hip club cost around $15.
No decision has been made on whether the charge will affect Sutherland’s probation for a drunken-driving conviction in Los Angeles, said Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney.
