Hector David Rivera, who portrayed Mike in Power Rangers Samurai, is wanted by the Idaho police for allegedly pushing an elderly man on Friday, July 26, in Nampa, Idaho.

The incident was recorded on video, and the Nampa Police Department shared it through Instagram. The clip shows an individual coming out of his vehicle and pushing a senior man with a walker. The police department later told People magazine that the person pushing the other individual was Hector David Rivera.

Rivera has been recently charged with misdemeanor battery, and the Police Department has issued an arrest warrant.

Notably, a text on top of the social media clip stated that Hector had a verbal dispute with the other person about parking and then pushed him. The caption states that they have already launched an investigation into the incident, which happened around 11.45 am.

"After pushing the man down, the suspect left him on the ground and drove away in a raised up black 4 door truck with Texas license plate. You can see part of the truck in the video," the caption reads.

The cops disclosed that the victim was being taken care of and requested the public to contact Crime Stoppers and Nampa Dispatch by calling them or leaving a tip through their official website and app. A spokesperson for the police recently gave an update on the search for Rivera, saying they have "not been able to locate Mr. Rivera."

Mike was different from the rest of the Rangers and used to take breaks between training to eat something. This created problems for him when he went to fight the villains at first and was eventually knocked out easily.

He also undergoes training after being motivated in the right manner and becomes an expert in Beetle Disc. There is a time when he gets a chance to come into the spotlight after four Rangers are switched with inanimate objects. He and Emily then receive the Black Box from Ji, and they manage to prevail using the box's power.

Hector David Rivera's character also likes to go out with his friends and develops romantic feelings towards Emily. He uses a Samuraizer to morph into a Ranger, which helps him in close combat and ground battles.
