James Blunt won't be charged over alleged foot incident

Los Angeles prosecutors have decided not to charge James Blunt over an alleged incident in which his car injured a man's foot.

James Blunt won't be charged over those previously reported allegations that he ran over someone's foot whilst driving away from a party in LA back in February. The alleged victim told police that his foot was injured as the singer drove through a crowd of paparazzi and onlookers, whilst Blunt's people protested that the star had only been travelling at two miles an hour when the incident occurred, and that he'd done his best to drive through the crowd without hitting anyone.

Apparently the city's attorney office think there's not much of a case there, a spokesman saying: "After a review of the information provided, we've decided not to file charges at this time" - technically, prosecutors reserve the right to still file charges at a later date, but have indicated that they are not particularly looking into doing so. Blunt's publicist Sheila Richman says: "He is very happy. James was never charged with anything. He's now hard at work in Los Angeles on his new album".
