Television star Kiefer Sutherland will face a minor assault charge after a scuffle earlier this week in which he reportedly headbutted another man, according to a media report on Wednesday. Citing an unnamed law enforcement source, the New York Daily News said Sutherland, who is already serving five years probation for an unrelated drunken driving charge in Los Angeles, would surrender to New York police as early as Thursday and face a misdemeanor assault charge following the reported attack on fashion designer Jack McCollough. According to media reports, McCollough says that at a Monday night party after an annual costume gala held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sutherland headbutted him, causing the fashion designer to bleed. Reports say McCollough had bumped into actress Brooke Shields at the party, but did not apologize. So, Sutherland approached him. A criminal charge, even a minor one, could have harsh consequences for the 42-year-old actor. He was arrested in 2007 for drunken driving in Los Angeles and served 48 days in a Southern California jail.
