Police hunting ‘Power Rangers’ actor Hector David Jr. for allegedly assaulting elderly man using walker
A Power Rangers actor is being sought by police after a shocking video emerged of him allegedly shoving an elderly man using a walker to the ground after an argument in an Idaho parking lot.
Hector David Rivera, best known for playing the green Power Ranger in the popular live-action kids’ television show, has been charged with misdemeanor battery following the caught-on-camera incident in Nampa, Idaho, on Friday, KTVB reported.
The shocking video footage shows the suspect approaching an elderly man who is using a walker while navigating through a parking lot before shoving him to the ground.
After pushing the man, the suspect drove away. The victim was not injured in the incident, police said.
Police asked the community for help identifying the suspect before they deemed it to be Rivera, who goes by the stage name Hector David Jr.
Authorities have not been able to locate Rivera, who was scheduled to appear at the Magic Valley Comic-Con this weekend.
“We are just finding out about this ourselves,” comic-con marketing director Larissa Long told KTVB. “We are looking into it and will take appropriate action.”
Police were working Tuesday to issue a warrant for his arrest, the outlet reported.
Rivera appears to have deleted his social media accounts since the battery.
A police investigation is ongoing.
