Nampa Police said David “pushed an elderly man to the ground after they exchanged words about a parking issue,” then “left him on the ground and drove away,” CNN reported.
The truck was apparently parked in a spot reserved for people with disabilities, The New York Times reported. The newspaper pointed out that the video was only 14 seconds long and did not show the entire incident.
Police said that community members identified David, whose real name is Hector David Rivera and who lives in Nampa, Idaho.
They have not been able to find him so they’ve issued an arrest warrant. He is facing misdemeanor battery, police said, according to CNN.
The actor had been scheduled to appear at Magic Valley Comic-Con, but he’s been removed from the list of guests.
He had been featured on the Comic-Con website’s front page, but the photo of him has been removed, KTVB reported.
