Last week "Scandal" star Columbus Short was arrested for sucker punching a fellow patron at a West Hollywood bar [click here if you missed that].
The Punchee has decided not to press charges...
Sources tell TMZ Columbus lucked up because mutual acquaintances were able to broker a peace deal.
Apparently both men were at the bar for the same engagement party when the fight broke out.
The victim has agreed to an out of court settlement to cover his medical expenses which include treatment for a fractured facial bone and back pain.
