I would imagine his behaviour only amounts to assault if she presses charges. And frankly, you'd have a problem making that stick on the strength of those photos.

Maybe legally speaking these events are not evidence but the fact it happened and was witnessed and photographed and splashed onto the front covers of most tabloid newspapers does add some weight to Nigella's divorce petition. It at least strengthens her hand if she sues for divorce on grounds of physical/Mental abuse.
