Kanye West will not be charged with assaulting a photographer — in an alleged incident that went down just hours ago in the UK. West was arrested at a hotel in Gateshead, England early this morning after allegedly getting into a tussle with a photog on his way out of the Tup Tup nightclub in Newcastle. After a short investigation, West was released from police custody without charges. FYI — The person alleging the assault made the same claim against a famous British soccer player around a month ago — but the charges unfounded in that case as well. UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with the photog — who claims Kanye did, in fact, smash his face in around 2AM London time. According to the snapper, it all went down when Kanye was leaving the club with 4 girls, upset that he was being captured on film. After getting angry, Kanye allegedly got violent — shoving the camera into the snappers face, causing a cut on his nose.
