Former Conservative minister David Mellor was questioned by police over an alleged racist rant at a security guard, according to reports.
The QC and former Cabinet Minister shouted at the Polish worker for not standing directly outside his home in St Katharine Docks, the Sun reported.
He then clashed over the telephone with a Nepalese officer in the guard's office, the newspaper added.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said a man, whose identity he would not confirm, was questioned under caution in May last year following an incident in March.
He said: "A 64-year-old man from Tower Hamlets was interviewed under caution by police on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence that took place on 26 March 2013 at St Katharine Docks.
"He attended an east London police station by appointment on 23 May 2013. He was not arrested.
"Following advice from the CPS no further action will be taken."
The news comes after Mr Mellor was recorded launching a foul-mouthed tirade at a London taxi driver in the city on 21 November.
After claiming the driver was taking a longer route than necessary, Mr Mellor called him a "sweaty, stupid little s***", according to The Sun, which obtained a recording of the incident.
"You've been driving a cab for 10 years, I've been in the Cabinet, I'm an award-winning broadcaster, I'm a Queen's Counsel," Mr Mellor reportedly said.
Mr Mellor apologised for his rant at the beginning of his first phone-in session on his LBC radio show since the incident.
He said: "I can't think what possessed me to lose it with that cabbie the way I did.
"OK, I had a case but I threw it away by the way I spoke and I'm really, really sorry about that, and I especially want to apologise to you, our listeners, for trying your patience and risking my own credibility with you by speaking the way I did."
