Police have dropped an investigation into football referee Mark Clattenburg’s alleged use of inappropriate language during a match after no victim came forward.
Scotland Yard said an investigation was launched into alleged comments made during a football match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on October 28.
Police said in a statement: “Inquiries were made and no victims have come forward.
“The matter will remain as a recorded incident.
“Without a victim and/or any evidence that any offence has been committed, the matter cannot currently be investigated.
“If the situation changes and a victim and/or evidence to support an allegation of a crime comes to police attention, then further inquiries will, if appropriate, be made.”
