(CNN)Emile Hirsch should have probably stuck to screening movies at Sundance. The "Lone Survivor" actor is being charged with felony aggravated assault and intoxication, prosecuting attorney Ryan Stack of the Summit County (Utah) Attorney's Office said Thursday. Legal papers allege that Hirsch had a verbal and physical altercation with Daniele Bernfeld -- a Paramount executive -- at TAO nightclub in Park City during the 2015 Sundance Film Festival in January. The early morning altercation reportedly involved Hirsch putting Bernfeld into a chokehold so forceful that she "couldn't breathe" and caused her to black out. Two bystanders pulled Hirsch off of Bernfeld before police arrived. Some "redness" was seen around Bernfeld's neck, according to authorities.Emile Hirsch charged with felony aggravated assault and intoxication after incident at SundanceLegal papers allege that Hirsch choked a Paramount executive until she blacked outThe actor is due in court next month
