Jeremy Clarkson from the popular TV show Top Gear was questioned by police after grabbing misbehaving youth’s hoodie. Jeremy Clarkson has reported in the Sunday Times column that the incident happened outside the Xscape sports complex in Milton Keynes where he was celebrating his daughters birthday.
Clarkson then popped outside the complex to have a cigarette and then was confronted by a gang of teenagers, who then started to pester him by following him as he tried to walk away from the situation.
Clarkson thought by some form of defence was necessary so he grabbed one of the teens hoodie who he thought was the ringleader, he then lifted the teen off the ground by his hoodie.
Jeremy Clarkson was holding the boy by the scruff of his neck and said that instead of worrying about being stabbed I was actually thinking: ‘Jesus, I’m going to get done for assault if I’m not careful.’ “I therefore put him down, and in a flurry of swearing and hand gestures involving various fingers he was gone.”
The police was informed by a 14 year old girl saying that a man had been abusive towards her friend. CCTV footage proved that it was the man that was the victim.
No further action has been taken.

Seems to me he acted with great restraint given the degree of provocation which must have caused him to react at all.
You hear of this happening and the end result hospitisation or worse. Well done but lets not too carried away
This is about the only time he has been right in his life
