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

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

"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," said a spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

"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.
