Sutherland’s court ‘no show’

KIEFER SUTHERLAND did not appear in a New York court yesterday to answer allegations that he head-butted a fashion designer.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office said the actor’s scheduled court appearance yesterday on an assault charge has been postponed.

The star was charged on May 7 with misdemeanour assault after designer Jack McCollough said he head-butted him and broke his nose.

Sutherland and McCollough issued a joint statement a few weeks later saying they had resolved their differences, clearing the way for charges to be dropped.
