GRANT ESCAPES CHARGES OVER PHOTOGRAPHER INCIDENT

British actor HUGH GRANT will not be charged over claims he threw a container of baked beans at a photographer and kicked him.

HUGH GRANT

The Love Actually star, 46, was arrested by police and bailed after allegedly attacking paparazzo Ian Whittaker, who was taking his picture outside the star's west London home in April (07).

A Crown Prosecution Service spokeswoman says: "We have advised the police that there is insufficient evidence to charge Hugh Grant with any offence in relation to an allegation that he kicked a photographer.

"This is because there were clear discrepancies between the accounts of independent witnesses and those of the photographers involved.

"In relation to a second allegation involving a take away food container, the CPS decided that a prosecution would not be in the public interest."

She added that the decision not to prosecute was down to "the minimal nature of the alleged assault and the lack of pre-meditation on the part of Mr Grant".
