Kanye
West will not be prosecuted following his airport altercation with a
photographer, it has been revealed.
The
36-year-old singer charged a paparazzo who was peppering him with
questions upon the singer's arrival at Los Angeles International
Airport last Friday.
The
photographer was taken to a hospital following the assault. He
claimed West attempted to steal his camera and told authorities that
he wanted to press charges.
However
investigators from LA Police's Robbery-Homicide
Division told TMZ that
it was 'extremely unlikely' West would be prosecuted as there was no
proof he attempted to take the camera.
In
the next few days police officers will refer the case to the Los
Angeles County District Attorney's Office as a felony attempted
robbery charge rather than the lesser charge of battery.
If,
as expected, the charge is dropped then the file will be passed to
the L.A. City Attorney for a possible misdemeanor criminal battery
prosecution
