Mike Tyson Booked
Mike Tyson reportedly was booked late yesterday for punching a paparazzi who got too close.
TMZ reports that 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.
The story goes that Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred, that a paparazzi got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. 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. An ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX and the paparazzo was transported to a local hospital.
Law enforcement report that Tyson and the photographer performed citizen's arrests on each other -- both are expected to be booked for misdemeanor battery. Cops also said witnesses backed both stories ... so that could get interesting.
