PRESS ASSOCIATION -- Matthew Fox will not be charged over allegations he punched a private bus driver, Cleveland prosecutors have said.
City spokeswoman Andrea Taylor said in a statement the decision was made "after a thorough review of the facts".
Bus driver Heather Bormann of Cleveland had said The Lost star hit her early on August 28 after she blocked him from boarding a chartered party bus she was driving. She said Fox wanted a ride to his hotel and appeared intoxicated.
Bormann's lawyer, J Norman Stark, said the city's decision was a "miscarriage of justice".
Bormann has filed a civil lawsuit against Fox in Cuyahoga County, alleging the actor engaged in "intentional, aggravated felonious assault and battery" and inflicted intentional emotional distress.
The lawsuit claims Fox punched Bormann in the breast, groin, arm and legs, causing injuries that required medical treatment and led to loss of income. It says Bormann defended herself, hitting Fox in the head, bloodying his lip and injuring her own hand and fingers.
The lawsuit seeks at least 75,000 dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.
An email seeking comment was sent to Fox's publicist.
