Jeremy Clarkson will face no further police action over his attack on a Top Gear producer at a hotel, North Yorkshire Police said today.
Jeremy Clarkson will face no further police action over his attack on a Top Gear producer at a hotel, North Yorkshire Police said today.
Oisin Tymon, the Top Gear producer punched by Jeremy Clarkson during a row over food, has told North Yorkshire Police he does not want to press charges, his lawyer Paul Daniels has said.
The events of the last few weeks have been extremely unpleasant for everyone involved. The matter has taken a great toll on Oisin, his family and his friends.
Quite simply, Mr Tymon just wishes to return now to the job at the BBC he loves, as soon as possible. Further, the BBC have, in his view, taken action with a view to addressing the issues at hand.
Mr Tymon agrees with the BBC's stated view that all parties should now be allowed to move on, so far as possible.
North Yorkshire Police said they are still investigating the incident. A spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing."
The BBC has given Jeremy Clarkson the all-clear to present Have I Got News For You, despite axing him from Top Gear over a recent "fracas".
Chris Evans has said rumours he will be taking over Top Gear are "absolutely nonsense."
Supporters of the suspended Top Gear presenter presented a petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people to the BBC today.
