Hugh Grant will not face charges

British actor Hugh Grant will not face charges over allegedly kicking a photographer and attacking him with baked beans, state prosecutors said Friday.

Film star Grant, 46, was arrested over the alleged incident -- photographs of which appeared in newspapers -- near his west London home in April.

A spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said:

"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 said "the minimal nature of the alleged assault and the lack of pre-meditation on the part of Mr Grant" were also among the reasons for the decision.
