Toronto police will not charge men who hurled obscenities at a female journalist as she was doing a live segment from a soccer game.
In an email, police said they had met with Shauna Hunt, the CityNews reporter who confronted the hecklers on Sunday, and decided that charges were not appropriate.
There are no ongoing investigations into the incident, added police spokeswoman Meaghan Gray.
Hunt says she didn't file a criminal complaint and that it was never her intention to do so.
One of the men involved in the incident was fired by Hydro One for violating its code of conduct after Hunt's on-air confrontation with the hecklers set off a firestorm on the issue.
Calgary police, meantime, have charged a man with hurling the same vulgarity at a female journalist.
The man, whose name has not been released, faces a charge of stunting under the Traffic Safety Act and could face a fine of more than $400.
CBC reporter Meghan Grant says after a Calgary Flames playoff game, she was interviewing fans about the trend of shouting the sexually explicit phrase at female reporters.
She says that's when somebody pulled up in a truck and yelled it at her. She and her colleagues got the licence plate number and reported the incident to police.
