Mike Tyson was arrested at LAX airport yesterday afternoon and later released on his own recognizance after he got involved in a bloody confrontation with a paparazzo. Reportedly, the pap got too close to the former heavyweight boxing champ who was traveling with his wife and kid, and ended up with 5 stitches on his face. Tyson has been booked for misdemeanor battery.

TMZ reports,

TMZ has learned Mike Tyson has been arrested at LAX airport for battery after a bloody confrontation with a paparazzo outside the United terminal. We’re told Tyson punched the pap in the face and there is blood everywhere. We’re told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood. An LAPD spokesperson said the photographer suffered a minor laceration to the forehead.


Tyson’s lawyer says that the boxer acted in self-defense because the pap was too close and was harassing Tyson, his wife and kid.

I don’t know about the law officials, but I’m fully convinced that the pap was totally at fault. If you are on a mission to follow and/or harass a former boxing champ, you should leave your face at home, preferably in a safe deposit vault. Silly paps. When will they learn?!
