Taylor Swift’s father will not face police charges over accusations he assaulted a photographer in Australia.<\/p>\n

Ben McDonald had told police that Scott Swift struck him in the face in Sydney<\/strong> on 27 February.<\/p>\n

The alleged confrontation happened after the 72-year-old and his megastar daughter left a yacht following the final show of her Eras Tour in Australia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the time, a representative for the popstar accused members of the media of behaving “aggressively” towards her during the interaction.<\/p>\n

Mr McDonald, 51, described the incident at the time as a “punch in the chops”<\/strong> that “didn’t require medical assistance”.<\/p>\n

Following an investigation, New South Wales Police have confirmed that no further action will be taken.<\/p>\n
