Mitt Romney, a potential 2012 GOP Presidential frontrunner, will not press charges against the man who assaulted him on a flight from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, California on Monday.
The man, who the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials refuse to name, was arrested and let go.
“The male who was alleged assaulted did not wish to press charges.” said Corporal Jennifer Pound, of the Richmond RCMP.
Police escorted the man off the plane and Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts, was not injured.
Mr. Romney and his wife, Ann, had been in Vancouver since last Friday attending the Winter Olympic Games.
