Mel Gibson will not face assault charges, say Australian police

Police in Australia say they do not intend to charge Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson over an allegation that he shoved and abused a photographer who snapped pictures of him and his new girlfriend.

Daily Telegraph staff photographer Kristi Miller complained to police about the August 23 altercation with Gibson after he and girlfriend Rosalind Ross were photographed leaving a movie in Paddington, Sydney.
