Actor Kiefer Sutherland has been charged with assault after he allegedly head-butted a fashion designer at a nightclub in Manhattan, New York.

He turned himself into police on Thursday after claims he attacked Jack McCollough at SubMercer in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The actor, 42, who stars in US TV drama 24, will face a minor assault charge in court on 22 June.

The alleged assault took place at a party following Monday night's Met Costume Gala, attended by A-list stars including Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham.
