V presenter Jeremy Clarkson has been questioned by police after he wrote in a national newspaper about confronting a youth who was pestering him.

The Top Gear star explained in his Sunday Times column that the incident took place outside the Xscape sports complex in Milton Keynes, where his youngest daughter was celebrating her birthday.

Clarkson had stepped outside for a cigarette when he was confronted by a gang of teenagers, who began to pester him and followed him when he tried to walk away.

"And so, figuring that attack was probably the best form of defence, I grabbed the ringleader by his hoodie, lifted him off the ground and explained, firmly, that it'd be best if he went back to his tenement," he wrote.

"I was standing there holding this boy by the scruff of his neck, and instead of worrying about being stabbed I was actually thinking: 'Jesus, I'm going to get done for assault if I'm not careful.'

"I therefore put him down, and in a flurry of swearing and hand gestures involving various fingers he was gone."

The children began filming the November 23 incident on their mobile phones, although the footage does not appear to have made it onto the internet.

Thames Valley Police said they received a call from a 14-year-old girl informing them a man had been abusive towards her friend.

But when officers arrived at the scene and spoke to witnesses it became clear the girl was part of a group who had earlier been warned by security staff about their behaviour.

A spokesman said: "Mobile phone images were viewed, as well as CCTV footage, and it became apparent that, if any offence had occurred, it was the man who was the victim."

Clarkson was later interviewed at his home in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, but did not wish to make a complaint or provide a statement.

The police spokesman added: "There is no evidence that a crime took place and therefore there will be no further police action."

Oh no it didn't, why the hell did the please, (police), take it any further???    

Justice done if what we hear is correct, but it could so easily be another "teacher murdered" type story,

Very difficult to deal with young dickheads imho.

Edited to add,

It is amazing what happens from when the copper on the street arrives to deal with these issues and what results when the PPS get hold of the story!!!

From 1st hd exp the cop wil make a judgement as to who is the offender/in the wrong. But  often later, because the innocent party has commited some easily prosecuted offence, the guy who in the view of the cop on the scene is the victim, has to defend his actions      

Sorry,it's weighted to far the wrong way in my view

edited to save me anyfurther embaressment/litigation.

Just gone up another few points in my estimation.

As has been said Clarkson for PM, something postive might start to happen then
