Katie Price’s ‘attacker’ released under investigation after being quizzed by cops for ‘punching star’
A MAN accused of attacking Katie Price has been released under investigation after being quizzed by police.
The 43-year-old reality star was taken to hospital and cops were called to her home after an incident in August this year.
She told police she had been the victim of a violent attack and was driven to a friend’s house nearby where she was attended to by paramedics.
Essex Police told The Sun: “A man arrested following reports of an assault in Little Canfield on 23 August has been released under investigation.”
The person who allegedly assaulted the mum-of-five has been bailed three times before.
Being released under investigation means you have been released without charge with no obligation to return on bail. However, the investigation will remain ongoing.
After being arrested on August 23, the man was released on bail until September 20, then re-bailed into October.
Katie today vowed to have a drama-free 2022 after a nightmare year that saw her dramatically spared jail after crashing her BMW.

Promising to have the “greatest year of my life” she said she was going to “smash it” in 2022.
She wrote: “22 is my lucky number so my focus is to make it a drama free and actually have some good luck.
“With all my new ventures and ideas I will smash it.”
Katie had been facing Christmas in prison for for drink-driving while disqualified before being sentenced earlier this month.
But because she went to rehab and complied with a deferral – even while on holiday in Las Vegas – her sentence was reduced below the custody threshold.
At Crawley magistrates’ court, District Judge Amanda Kelly admitted the public would be “appalled”.
She added: “Your actions on that night were incredibly selfish.
“When you chose to get behind the wheel of the car that night, you showed no consideration for others. You could have killed someone’s child, partner, parent or friend.”
Katie spent Christmas with her mum and three eldest children – Princess, 14, and Junior, 16, who she shares with ex Peter Andre, and Harvey, 19, from a brief relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.
