Sacked Clarkson Could Face Police Action
Jeremy Clarkson faces possible police action for an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack" that left a Top Gear producer with swelling and a split lip.
Clarkson, 54, assaulted Oisin Tymon for around 30 seconds, while shouting "derogatory and abusive language" so loudly it could be heard in a hotel bedroom, a BBC report has found.
The attack at the Simonstone Hall Hotel, in North Yorkshire, was only stopped when a witness intervened, BBC Director General Tony Hall said.
Now North Yorkshire Police has asked the BBC for its report and said action will be taken "where necessary".
