Police have closed an investigation into a ‘creepy’ viral video showing a man appearing to grin after nibbling a young boy’s ear at the World Snooker Championship.
Despite fears something sinister was happening on screen, police have determined no crime was committed.
The encounter was caught on live TV as seven-time winner Stephen Hendry was speaking during a break in play at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield on April 25.
Police have now closed the case pending any further information that would warrant investigation.
A spokesperson for the World Snooker Tour said: ‘We are aware of this incident and it is now a police matter.
