Australian police did not press any charge on Taylor Swift’s father Scott Swift after a Sydney photographer accused him of assault. Now, the paparazzo has blasted Scott Swift, saying, “It is hard to imagine that Mr Swift had such little confidence in the skills and expertise of Taylor's highly trained Close Personal Protection team, many of whom are former military (special forces) that he felt he had to personally come to his daughters 'defense' and directly punch me in the face.” On the cops’ decision, Ben McDonald added, “I believe Police are hardworking and I thank them for their time irrespective of the result.”
