Stephen Tompkinson shared his reaction after he was found not guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm on Karl Poole.
The Ballykissangel and DCI Banks actor, 57, was accused of punching Mr Pool and causing "traumatic brain injuries" following an alleged incident outside Mr Tompkinson's home in the early hours of May 30, 2021.
On Thursday, a jury at Newcastle Crown Court found Tompkinson not guilty of assault causing grievous bodily harm, after a trial which began on May 3.
