Mike Tyson was arrested at LAX after he allegedly punched an over-aggressive paparazzo in the face.
Mike Tyson had another untimely outburst, after all his big talk on Oprah recently about being a changed man. The boxing champ, not known for keeping his cool, has been accused of getting into a bloody confrontation with a paparazzo, at LAX airport. The incident happened at the United Airlines ticket terminal, when the 43-year-old father was passing through LAX from Europe en route to Las Vegas.
Apparently, he was travelling with his 10-month-old daughter and was being pursued by an over-aggressive snapper. So, he couldn’t resist the urge to go Kanye West on that annoying MFer, whom I have a sneaking suspicion deserved at least a light slap around the face.
According to reports, a punch or two from the heavyweight, and there was blood everywhere. The pap is said to have gotten up after being pimp-slapped and walked off leaving a gruesome trail of blood.
An ambulance was dispatched to LAX at 4:39 PM EST yesterday. The paparazzo suffered a minor laceration to the forehead. He was transported to a local hospital. According to the popo both idiots in the incident performed citizen’s arrests on each other, expecting to be booked for misdemeanor batter.
Since the arrest late yesterday, Tyson has been booked for misdemeanor battery and his bail was set for $20,000. The photographer was booked on misdemeanor battery. A few hours later at around 8:33 PM Tyson was released on his own recognizance to go and smack the snot out of someone else.
