Police are no longer investigating after Dizzee Rascal smashed a camera outside court after being found guilty of assaulting his ex-fiancee.
The Metropolitan Police initially intended to look into the incident, but have confirmed the photojournalist does not support a prosecution, meaning they have halted their investigation.
The grime artist, 37, whose real name is Dylan Mills, hurled the camera across the road outside Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court just moments after a verdict of guilty was returned for a charge of assault against Cassandra Jones, the mother of his two children.
“It was reported that a camera was knocked from the hands of a photojournalist and thrown across the road.
“Officers made contact with the complainant who advised he was pursuing a civil outcome and did not wish to support a criminal investigation. There is no police investigation.”
Mills, who separated from Ms Jones in February 2021, was said to have “barged” into the home, banged his head on a fridge three times while holding his son and began “screaming and shouting” at Ms Jones and her mother, Dawn Kirk.
He is due to be sentenced for the assault at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on April 8.
