OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 22 (UPI) -- No criminal charges will be filed against Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Cable for an alleged assault, Napa County, Calif., District Attorney Gary Lieberstein said.

Assistant Coach Randy Hanson was treated at a local hospital for a fractured jaw at the Raiders' training camp hotel in Napa Aug. 5, but refused when questioned by authorities to say Cable attacked him.

Cable denied the assault allegations, and Lieberstein told the Oakland Tribune Thursday his office doesn't have enough evidence to charge Cable.

In a release late Thursday, published by the Contra Costa Times, Lieberstein said witnesses saw Cable grab Hanson's shirt after Hanson was on the ground, but the witnesses said Cable did not strike Hanson.
