Chris Rock will not be pressing charges against Will Smith after Smith appeared to strike Rock during the Academy Awards on Sunday night, said the Los Angeles Police Department.

During the ceremony, Smith walked onto the stage after Rock told a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head as he presented an award.
