Kiefer Sutherland allegedly lost it on an Uber driver — threatening to kill them if they didn’t pull over — leading to the star’s arrest, according to a report.
The actor, 59, told cops he called for an Uber Black after having dinner with a friend late Sunday night, and asked the driver to take him to his home, TMZ reports.
At some point during the ride, Sutherland asked the driver to pull over and let him out, according to the Uber driver. Sutherland then threatened to kill him if he didn’t pull over, the report states.
The driver then called 911 and told police he was assaulted by Sutherland.
When police arrived, the Uber driver requested a translator, according to the TMZ source, who thinks he spoke Russian or Armenian.
Sutherland was arrested on felony charges for making a criminal threat. He was released on $50,000 bail.
The Emmy-winning actor also faced assault charges in 2009 for being involved in a nightclub dust-up where he allegedly head-butted a fashion designer.
In that incident, the “24” actor channeled his inner Jack Bauer when designer Jack McCullough allegedly bumped into actress Brooke Shields at an after-party for the Met Gala in New York City, The Post reported at the time.
Sutherland allegedly stepped in and slammed his forehead into the designer’s face, leaving him with a gash across his nose. McCullough’s rep said the designer suffered “a broken nose in three places.”
The incident came on the back of another 2007 arrest for drunken-driving in California that landed him in jail for 48 days.
