Chris Rock will reportedly not be pressing charges against Will Smith after their shocking clash at the Oscars last night.

Chris Rock has reportedly decided not to press charges against Will Smith after their shocking clash at the Oscars last night.

In a moment that left the audience stunned, Smith stormed onto the stage while Rock was presenting an award and slapped him in the face following a joke he made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Smith then returned to his seat and shouted "keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth" as a visibly shaken Rock attempted to carry on.

A statement from the Los Angeles Police Department read: "Our investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program. The incident involved one individual slapping another.

"The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report."

Following the incident Smith went on to win the Best Actor award for his role in King Richard.
