Taylor Swift's father will not face charges after a Sydney paparazzo claimed he was assaulted by him last month.

A photographer accused Scott Swift of punching him at a ferry wharf in Neutral Bay, following Swift's last show in Australia on February 27.

Sharing his account with media after the alleged incident, McDonald said one of Swift's security guards had forced an umbrella into his face and camera.
