Bradley Cooper, 49, appeared in court in Omaha on Monday charged with 2nd-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, two counts of terroristic threats, and tampering with evidence.

Prosecutors allege that on 3 September Cooper followed three children on motorised scooters near 205th and Harrison Streets. When the children moved to evade him, one crashed near a medical clinic car park. According to prosecutors, the child's leg was run over by Cooper's Jeep, leaving tyre marks on his skin. The child was taken to hospital with a non-life-threatening leg injury.

Prosecutors believe Cooper's actions were intentional. They allege he attempted to hide his Jeep in his garage and put on different plates to avoid detection. Cooper was held on $250,000 bond, with his next court date scheduled for 4 December.
