Producer's Death Threats From Top Gear Trolls

The BBC producer assaulted by Jeremy Clarkson has received death threats on Twitter.

Oisin Tymon got a massive amount of abuse from Top Gear fans who blame him for his sacking.

He had his lip split in a 30-second assault by Clarkson , and drove himself to A&E after the incident on 4 March.

In his report, BBC Director General Tony Hall said "no blame" was attached to Mr Tymon, who "behaved with huge integrity throughout" - while he said Clarkson had crossed a line.

His views are not shared by trolls who launched a torrent of abuse at the 28-year-old, who does not have a Twitter account.

Darren Laws (@01lawsda) tweeted: "May you have a very slow and painful death Oisin Tymon."

Gonzalo Robles (@grobles17) wrote: "Clarkson should have killed you Oisin Tymon, filthy b******."

Paul Richer (@PaulmRicher) said: "Oisin Tymon had to go to A&E !!! let's hope he visits the morgue VERY soon , a***wipe !!!" and "Tony Hall BBC director , I wonder if Oisin's and your head can stop a bullet !!! just wondering."

Pasan Weerasinghe (@PortelloFanatic) added: "To meet Oisin Tymon in person and feed him the very food he denied Clarkson. Then, beat him to a pulp with a rolling pin. LifeGoals."

The vitriol shocked Twitter users such as Ollie Connors (@olliexcore) who wrote: "I wonder how the people out for Oisin Tymon's blood would feel if their boss punched them for no good reason?"

Louisa Booth (@louisabooth) tweeted: "Man assaults another man and victim receives abuse because people can't watch a TV show about cars. Bravo society. Bravo OisinTymon".

Jason Manford, the comedian, wrote: "It's surprising how sensitive fans of someone so controversial can be. Clarkson."

After Lord Hall's remarks, Mr Tymon released a statement saying: "I respect Lord Hall's detailed findings and I am grateful to the BBC for their thorough and swift investigation into this very regrettable incident, against a background of intense media interest and speculation.

"I've worked on Top Gear for almost a decade, a programme I love. Over that time Jeremy and I had a positive and successful working relationship, making some landmark projects together.

"He is a unique talent and I am well aware that many will be sorry his involvement in the show should end in this way."

Paul Daniels, from Slater and Gordon, the law firm representing Mr Tymon, told the Daily Mirror: "This last month has been a nightmare for Oisin, his friends and his family.

"Through absolutely no fault of his own he found himself at the centre of a massive news story, but despite that he has conducted himself with dignity, restraint and balance."
