The Liverpool striker was alleged to have taken offence when a woman attempted to take photos of his Ferrari, but the woman has decided against making a formal complaint.
Greater Manchester Police has confirmed that no further action will be taken against Mario Balotelli over allegations that the Liverpool forward used threatening behaviour towards the woman.
Balotelli allegedly moved towards the woman's daughter as she was taking pictures of his red Ferrari F12 Berlinetta at around 3pm last Thursday, though after police investigated the claim, the woman has since decided against making a formal complaint.
However, the matter has now been dropped.
An official statement read: "Police were called to Pewsey Road, Wythenshawe just after 3pm on Thursday 23 October 2014, following reports of threatening behaviour.
"Officers have since spoken to the complainant and no criminal offences were disclosed and no crime recorded. No further action will be taken."
The incident occurred a day after Balotelli was replaced at half-time during Liverpool's 3-0 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid at Anfield.
The striker faced criticism from both fans and manager Brendan Rodgers after swapping shirts with Real defender Pepe at half-time, and though Rodgers has since said the "case is closed" regarding the striker's behaviour.
