Australian actor Jacob Elordi is currently under police investigation after an alleged assault on radio producer Joshua Fox took place at the Clovelly Hotel in Sydney on Saturday. The incident occurred following a joke made by Fox, which apparently escalated the situation.

Fox, a producer for "The Kyle & Jackie O Show," revealed on the radio show that he playfully asked Elordi for his bathwater as a reference to a scene from the movie "Saltburn." According to Fox, Elordi initially requested that their interaction not be recorded, and Fox agreed to this condition. However, tensions rose when Elordi later demanded that Fox delete the footage.

Describing the incident, Fox explained, "I'm backed against this wall. He's right in my face, and his two boys are now on either side of me. It's like a switch went off, and he's becoming quite aggressive, and I'm feeling intimidated." Fox also claimed that Elordi pushed him against a wall and placed his hands on his throat.

The New South Wales Police Force has confirmed that they are investigating the alleged assault. In a statement, they said, "Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. The man did not sustain any injuries. Inquiries into the incident are continuing."

Representatives for Jacob Elordi have not yet responded to requests for comment from NBC News.

It remains to be seen how this investigation will unfold and what actions, if any, will be taken regarding the alleged assault. Updates on the case will be provided as more information becomes available.
