Kiefer Sutherland gets NYC assault charge dropped after victim refuses to cooperate with probe
Kiefer Sutherland's legal troubles for allegedly head-butting a fashion designer in a New York City nightclub are over.
The Manhattan district attorney's spokeswoman said Tuesday that misdemeanor assault charges against the actor are being dropped because the alleged victim wouldn't cooperate with prosecutors.

The star of the Fox TV show "24" was charged in May after designer Jack McCollough said Sutherland head-butted him and broke his nose in a Manhattan nightclub.
Sutherland and McCollough issued a joint statement a few weeks later saying they had resolved their differences. Sutherland apologized to McCollough in the statement.
Sutherland's attorneys declined to comment Tuesday.
