NEW YORK (Reuters) - TV star Kiefer Sutherland plans to turn himself into New York City police on Thursday, a police spokesman said, after media reports the actor had headbutted another man.

The spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the star of hit Fox television show “24″ planned to turn himself in to a police station in the Manhattan neighborhood of Soho.

Police said Wednesday Sutherland would likely face a minor assault charge.

Several media outlets reported that Sutherland is accused of headbutting fashion designer Jack McCollough at a Monday night party after an annual costume gala held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
