"I really can't say anything guys," was the only comment Kiefer Sutherland had for a throng of reporters waiting outside his West Village, NYC home this afternoon, before the actor took a black town car to the 1st Precinct in Soho to meet with police about his alleged assault on Proenza Schouler designer, Jack McCollough, at a Costume Institute Gala afterparty on Monday night.

Flanked by a bodyguard and two men (one of whom was identified by a source as legal counsel), Sutherland was the picture of sobriety in a blue blazer, black raincoat and conservative reading glasses.

The actor's rep has yet to release a statement on his meeting with police, but it is widely believed he is in the process of receiving a desk appearance ticket which will allow him to remain free while waiting arraignment at a future date. Sutherland is currently on probation after serving jail time on a DUI conviction, and could be headed back to the slammer if being convicted of an alcohol-related assault.
