Mr Tymon’s lawyer Paul Daniels issued a statement in which he said: “Mr Tymon has informed the police that he doesn’t want to press charges.
“The events of the last few weeks have been extremely unpleasant for everyone involved. The matter has taken a great toll on Oisin, his family and his friends.
