The “24” star is in trouble with the law again after a run-in at a gala.

The 24 star has been accused of head-butting a famous fashion designer at a gala in New York City.

According to reports, Sutherland allegedly delivered the forehead-to-forehead blow (seriously, a headbutt?) to fashion designer Jack McCollough on Monday night. Sutherland’s action was said to be in response to McCollough bumping into actress Brooke Shields and not apologizing for the incident.

What really happened that night is still unclear. Reps for Shields have said nothing happened to the actress, and McCollough’s reps allege Sutherland was drunk. Sutherland’s camp says the fashion designer rudely bumped into Shields.

Maybe Jack Bauer can go around headbutting people when the safety of the United States is on the line, but it’s uncalled for at a gala. (Unless, of course, the fashion designer he headbutted had information crucial to the safety of the United States.)
