Taylor's Swift's father will not be charged over accusations he assaulted a paparazzo in Australia.

Ben McDonald, 51, told police Scott Swift, 72, struck him in the face on a Sydney wharf on 27 February. He did not need medical help.

A spokesperson for Swift at the time said two people had been behaving aggressively towards the megastar.

After a month-long investigation, New South Wales police on Tuesday said no further action would be taken.

Taylor Swift's father escapes charge over alleged Australia assault

There was a minor scuffle between Taylor's dad and the Sydney photographer about a month ago. Ben McDonald told that Taylor Swift had already entered a car when Scott Swift "charged in" and attacked him. The case was dismissed by Sydney police probably because it is not worth requesting Scott Swift's extradition to Australia as it is not an extraditable offence and there is no evidence that Scott Swift actually hit Ben McDonald in the face.
