TOKYO - Tokyo police on Tuesday referred former Yomiuri Giants manager Shinnosuke Abe's case of alleged assault against his daughter to prosecutors without detaining him, a source familiar with the matter said.

Abe, 47, was arrested on May 25 for allegedly grabbing his 18-year-old daughter and forcing her to the floor at their home in Tokyo. The police are believed to have recommended that prosecutors not indict him, according to the source.
