US reports have suggested Sutherland confronted designer Jack McCollough after he bumped into actress Brooke Shields,reports ‘Contactmusic’.

Within a month,the 42-year-old actor will appear before a judge in Manhattan criminal court to answer the misdemeanour charge,which is likely to result in a 1,000-dollar charge.

However,Sutherland may receive a severe response from Los Angeles authorities if he is found to have violated the terms of a probation term invoked over his second DUI conviction in 2007.
