In a statement the publicist said, "He is now satisfied that the police, after speaking to witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage and other evidence, have found there is no substance to the claim. The story is a complete fabrication of the truth as stated previously."

The alleged altercation happened on Aug. 23, after Kristi Miller, a Daily Telegraph photographer, took a snapshots of Gibson and his girlfriend, Rosalind Ross while leaving Israeli Film Festival screening at the Palace Verona Cinemas in Paddington.

"I thought he was going to punch me in the face," Miller told the Daily Telegraph. "He was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I'm not even a human being and I will go to hell. He swore and called me a c**t. It was non-stop, he didn't even breathe."

Miller also claimed that Gibson yelled at her saying she's "disrespecting" him and she's invading his "space," which was quickly denied by his spokesperson.

There was "no assault," and that the photographer was the one "harassing" the actor and his friend, Gibson's representative told Gossip Cop. Mel Gibson is currently in Australia, filming World War II drama "Hacksaw Ridge", according to BBC News.
