British prosecutors announced Thursday (August 14) that "Dark Knight" star Christian Bale will not face charges related to an alleged assault on his mother and sister in London last month, according to The Associated Press.

The alleged incident took place at the actor's hotel on the night of the film's London premiere, according to Bale's mother, Jenny, and sister Sharon, who made the report at a police station in Hampshire.

Bale has denied the allegation.

"Christian Bale attended a London police station on a voluntary basis in order to assist with an allegation that has been made against him to the police by his mother and sister," the actor's spokesperson said in a statement at the time. "Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police."

The Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence for a "realistic prospect of conviction" and has asked that London police take no further action against Bale, according to the AP.

British tabloid The Sun reported that police waited a day to question Bale, to allow the actor time to attend the premiere of the film. Bale was questioned for several hours at a police station before being released on bail.

Prosecutors said the decision not to pursue the case was based in part on the feelings of Bale's mother and sister, the AP reported.
