Scotland Yard has revealed that "inquiries are in hand to establish the facts in order to assess whether an investigation is necessary" after pictures of Nigella Lawson being assaulted in public by her husband Charles Saatchi were revealed in the press yesterday.

According to a spokesperson the Police have confirmed they are aware of the issue, though no arrests have been made.

The pictures, which appeared in yesterday's Sunday People, show the advertising chief grabbing his TV-chef wife by the throat during a heated exchange at Scott's restaurant in Mayfair on Saturday.

The spokesperson confirmed that no complaint had been made about the incident though witnesses of the attack claim Lawson appeared distressed at her husband of nine years actions.

A source told the Sunday People: "Nigella was very, very upset. She had a real look of fear on her face. No man should do that to a woman."

Yesterday The Drum revealed shocked reactions to the story that appeared on Twitter when the story broke.
