The officers working the investigation into an alleged battery by Kanye West against a man inside a swanky LA hotel are close to closing the case without filing any charges, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Sources close to Kanye claimed the man he punched had allegedly pushed or grabbed his wife, Bianca Censori. Kanye and Bianca left the scene before police arrived at the hotel.

The alleged victim was not transported to the hospital and did not receive any treatment for his injuries. Law enforcement sources said police wanted to speak to Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband about the incident.

As we previously reported, the alleged victim is either Mark or Jonnie Houston. Mark and Jonnie are twins that own a series of restaurants in Los Angeles.

An insider claimed the brother who Kanye punched was not the brother who had the run-in with Bianca. TMZ reported Kanye punched the wrong twin twice in the head.

Due to the parties not speaking to the police, the case will be sent over to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office who will make a decision on whether to bring charges against Kanye.

Last year, the LAPD investigated Kanye over an incident with a paparazzi where he threw the man's phone. No charges were ever brought over the incident.
