QUICK TAKES - May 8, 2009
Kiefer Sutherland was charged Thursday with assault for allegedly head-butting a fashion designer at a Manhattan nightclub.
New York police said the charges were filed after Sutherland spoke to investigators at a police station in lower Manhattan.
The star of the Fox television series “24” reported to the precinct house in a Lincoln Town Car alongside his lawyers, but he did not speak to reporters.
The designer, Jack McCollough, claims Sutherland attacked him after an argument, leaving him with a cut on his face.
Sutherland is on probation for a drunken-driving conviction in L.A. that sent him to jail for 48 days last year.
