A Power Rangers actor is being pursued by police after a shocking video emerged of him allegedly shoving an elderly man in a walker to the ground following an argument in an Idaho parking lot.
Hector David Rivera, best known for playing the green Power Ranger on the popular live-action children’s TV show, was charged with misdemeanor assault following an incident caught on camera in Nampa, Idaho on Friday. KTVB reported.
Shocking video footage shows the suspect approaching an elderly man using a walker through a parking lot and shoving him to the ground.
The suspect then fled the scene in a vehicle after shoving the man, but the victim was not injured, police said.
Police asked area residents to help identify the suspect before determining he was Rivera, who goes by the stage name Hector David Jr.
Authorities have yet to locate Rivera, who was scheduled to appear at Magic Valley Comic-Con this weekend.
“We just found out about this,” Comic-Con marketing director Larissa Long told KTVB. “We are currently investigating and will take appropriate action.”
Police were working to issue a warrant for his arrest on Tuesday, the outlet reported.
Rivera appears to have deleted his social media accounts since the assault.
Police investigations are ongoing.
