HBO’s “Silicon Valley” actor T.J. Miller was arrested early Friday on suspicion of battery on a car service driver in the Hollywood Hills, police said.

The car company driver reported the attack about 1 a.m. in the 6900 block of Camrose Drive, said Officer Jenny Houser, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department. The driver requested a private person’s arrest.

“It didn’t happen in front of officers,” Houser said.

Officers investigated the report and arrested Miller.

The 35-year-old was cited on the misdemeanor offense and released on his own recognizance, Houser said.

Miller’s new film, “Office Christmas Party,” was released Friday in theaters. He is also set to host the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
