Kiefer Sutherland Told Uber Driver ‘Pull Over or I’ll Kill You’ Before Assault Arrest: Report
New York Post ^ | Jan. 14, 2026 | Dana Sauchelli

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.

They should really have a ‘pull over or I’ll kill you’ button on the app.

I watched season after season of his Designated Survivor show hoping there’d come a point in the show where he’d portray an American president acting in Jack Bauer mode to save the country from terrorists.

I drive for Uber. In over 2,000 rides I have only had to kick two people out.

I did get to make a liberal chick cry a couple weeks ago. That was fun.

When police arrived, the Uber driver requested a translator, according to the TMZ source, who thinks he spoke Russian or Armenian.

I believe ICE can translate for him.

Isn’t there some nuance to that? You would have to pull over on a busy highway?

When Jack Bower says he’ll kill you, he usually goes for the kneecap first.

So maybe it happened like this:

Sutherland: “Pull over right now, immediately!”
But the driver heard: “What a pleasant trip. Please continue!”

🤔
