QUICK TAKES - May 23, 2009

Kiefer Sutherland and the designer he is accused of head-butting say they’ve resolved their differences, clearing the way for the charges against the actor to be dropped.

Sutherland’s representatives said Friday that the actor was sorry about what happened and regrets that designer Jack McCollough was injured. And McCollough wished the “24” actor well.

Sutherland was charged May 7 with third-degree assault in the incident two weeks ago at a New York City nightclub. McCollough claimed Sutherland broke his nose after an argument following a star-studded gala.

Sutherland, who is on probation in Los Angeles for a drunk-driving conviction, is due in court June 22 on the Manhattan charge.
