    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.
