Jay Kay cautioned over nightclub incident
Added on Tuesday 12 September 2006, 15:56 (BST)
Following the earlier news story about Jay being arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the London Evening Standard newspaper has reported (via Yahoo! news) that Jay was "cautioned" following the incident.  Part of the story reads... A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "At approximately 2am this morning an officer on routine patrol in Upper John Street was alerted to a large crowd of people, including photographers, outside a night club. "A man approached the officer and alleged he had been assaulted at the scene. He did not require hospital treatment. There are no further details about injuries. "A man believed to be in his 30s was arrested in connection with the allegation and he has been taken to a central London police station where he remains in custody." She added later: "The man who is in his 30s was given a caution for common assault and he has been released with no further action." The news has also been reported on other sites, such as Life Style Extra and ITV.com.

Please think to your life... the future is today!

And his words were as he dealt justice: "You make me, make me hate you . . . with a little punch !!!"

My opinion my be slightly biased, but the assailant would not have acted as he did unless he was aggravated and provoked into doing what he did. And sadly, I bear witness that there is an ugly element of the British public who make purposeful game out of taunting and intruding on other peoples' lives.

Please - dear sweeeeeeet God - next time, I wish the gentleman in his mid 30s would get some one else to do the business, patience is a virtue, but keeping a reputation on the popular side of the British street is harder to achieve.

I have a vicious, threatening, unrelenting, trouble seeking teenager for rent if anyone is interested in replacing their rottweilers, dobermans and/or body guard team ?!?!?!?! . . . any takers (I will pay all her expenses - including your post traumatic stress counselling session fees) ???

For those who can watch German TV and are interested:
I think it will be repeated this night. There was a short story about that on PRO 7 "Taff". It looked really bad. Hope you can watch it.

theres a video of it ?

Cant u feel it

Im stuck inside in a hurricane

Chasing rainbows

Cant u see im gone insane

I wanna be a free man

But im standing on these crazy wheel
Im jumping for the hard part

Cant u dig it

No long that I wanna feel

Cant u see I just want to run away

People around running me down, I cant stand

I just want to get away, I just want to get away.

Get them of my better day



I just wanna RUNAWAY ...

puta madre cuanto morbo...

Aw bless him.

still love ya Jay!!! nothing could change that. (i mean the whole band too - not just Jay)

I think even if he hit me I'd still like them!!!

I'd consider it an honour that his hand touched my face hahaha.

So yeah...

We should all move past this.

And luckily i haven't seen it on the news. So maybe it won't be that publisised.

so lets forget it yeah?!

get stuck in no hurricanes!!!!

lol

xx

Only cautioned? He has a history of getting drunk and assaulting people. If it were anyone else they would get time. Perhaps this might connvince Jay to drink only what he can handle and keep his ego at bay.

I KNOW A GUY WHO KNOWS A GUY , WHO KNOWS A GAL WHO SAID THAT HE WAS IN THAT CLUB AND NOTHING HAPPENED

i agree with you Angela...think Jay enjoys the upside of fame without accepting the downside.

They missed out the key point - Jay kay thought the paps were waiting for him. They weren't - they were after Lindsay Lohan... He wailed "leave me alone" and hit people who didn't know who the hell he was...

. . . and hit people who didn't know who the hell he was . . . THAT'S FUNNY

I didn't know that Sir JK was selling furniture fittings on ebay, but I reckon Mr. Plod couldn't be bribed with a bargain set of brass knockers, so it must have been a lot of hulabaloo over nothing.

BTW - I haven't had any offers for rental of the prevention and protection system that has a 'shopping' habit but will travel.

I SMELL A PUBLICITY STUUNT FOR A NEW ALBUM.. ME THINKS.
AND IF NOT...JAY! STOP ACTING THE TWAT WITH DRINK IN YOU!

Ok what he did might not be right but i hate the way the media is reporting the whole thing, particularly the fact that the paps were waiting for Lindsey Lohan-yeah right they want to take a pix of any celeb coming out. If their cameras were off then how did they manage to get pixs of the whole thing? And the vid going round of it-doesn't it seem they wound him up and they were all set upto capture it? And the articles Samantha did a great job of finding are so biased (wouldn't have read them if they weren't posted on the forums). The eyewitness all described what Jay was saying as a load of garbage-I actually found the "Are you Italian" comment followed by a slap quite funny lol. All i've heard on the radio today is that the tabloids are mocking him, along the lines of he punched the photographer for no reason because they weren't waiting for him but for Lindsey Lohan and got himself arrested and put in a cell all nite for no reason ha ha ha. So what if he made a mistake? He's only human. And if they really were waiting for that Lindsey why aren't their any pix of her (if there are please correct me and i withdraw the last comment)I don't justify what he did or that he got off so lightly but to mock his behaviour as if he is an extemly stupid person angers me cos he ain't. If he was then why's he so highly talented? If there's anybody mentioned in these reports to be called stupid its probaly Lindsey Lohan cos she just falls into the same camp of people like Paris Hilton. Rant over i feel so much better now lol!

The joking is over.

OMG - I've just seen the footage.

I am ashamed that the commentary called Sir JK by the name of 'Jamiroquai'. It smeared the name of all of our Jamiroquai band members. I wish they had referred to him as Mr. Jason Kay of the band Jamiroquai.

He should wear ear plugs and never make eye contact with the press if he can't be a sport to take the rough comments with the smooth. The media made a fool out of him, and I am gutted that he rose to the bait.

What a sad event that ultimately effects us all negatively.

Where the hell are his PR/minders ???

. . . disgusted . . . disappointed . . . what a shame . . .

Where did you find the footage Little H - so the people who have condoned this behaviour can have a look? Maybe they will rethink their 'Go Jay' comments.

I saw the whole incident shown in a US celebrity news magazine television programme that was broadcast on the MBC (Middle East Broadcasting Corporation) Channel Four. It is a station that broadcasts by satellite.

I would of recorded it if I had known that it were being broadcast. I was riveted into my chair as I watched the regrettable events unfold.

It was pitiful. There is no way it can be defended or legitimized. I am so sorryful.

Whilst Im sure the paparazzi can be a nightmare, they are also the very same people that help put people like jay in the news, particularly in the earlier days, in doing so they would have helped increase his revenue. Like others here have said you have to take the rough with the smooth....thats life. Its actually rare these days to see jay in the papers doing day to day things, the press are interested in the younger bands and celebs. He wouldnt have even been in the news if he hadnt reacted the way he did. Everyones entitled to go out and have fun, get drunk, be a little crazy but seeing a bloke in his thirties laying into a man in his fifties,unprovoked, isnt what I want to see from anyone, celeb or non celeb!!! It reminds me of the yobs you see on the news where there is cctv footage of someone being beaten up for no reason, by someone with no right to lay a finger on them, sorry it makes me mad! It all seems so at odds with the ideals that he sings about in his music.

Here, here! Unfortunately we (the anti-J post club brawling) seem to be in the minority. Well said Claire.

Thanks Rachel! He is naughty....but usually nice!!

If he keeps off the lash he can be naughty but nice with me!!! LOL

JK is a beast, if someone came up to him and started giving him S*** then they deserve a smack, im sure everyone would do the same if someone did that to them, at least he sticks up for himself and doesnt have bouncers or whatever do it for him. *CHEER*

Look, i get drunk too sometimes and think people are being rude to me. I've even been arrested for boozy incidents in posh bars but you grow up. I'm still only 24. The said gentleman in his 30s should know a lot better cos it's not like it's the first time.

Dont want to be anti j, but just looking on youtube and a fuller version when he got headbutted for being mouthy is there, its under "emergency on planet bentley" theres one poor woman there saying nothing and he is just screaming into her face, very scary...

this world becames mad more and more..jay and this --- and then?...
