However, a source has claimed that the police have launched an investigation which may include questioning the former Love Island star. The source alleged:
It’s at an early stage but police are studying all available evidence.
It was a vicious assault and has quite rightly caused concern.
It was previously claimed that the knocked-out man ‘could have hit the concrete pavement,’ which makes the case entirely different. The source added:
There are also aggravating features given the fact that he is an amateur boxer. Officers have already begun making enquiries and are likely to speak to Haris.
Reflection of Haris’s character
After his eviction from the villa, Haris clarified his stance on his actions in the video. Claiming that it was not a ‘reflection of my character,’ Haris insisted that the man in the video is his friend now. He said:
I’m devastated that this video has been seen. It’s not a reflection of my character.
I’m not someone that goes looking for fights and I didn’t want to be in that situation.
This was a heat of the moment thing. The video doesn’t show everything that happened. Afterwards, we met up and we cleared the air. We’ve shaken hands and we get along now.
