Oscars producer Will Packer told Good Morning America that Los Angeles police were prepared to arrest Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock during Sunday’s awards ceremony.

The officers didn’t make the arrest because Rock declined to press charges, Packer told the ABC programme in a recent interview, which is set to air Friday morning.
