Mike Tyson Arrested & Charged For Incident at LAX

When i got the message about Mike Tyson being arrested, first thing came to mind was 'who ear did he bite'?


TMZ Reports:

"Mike Tyson FLOORED a paparazzo at LAX airport this evening! Reportedly, he was traveling with his 10 month old daughter when a pap got way too close to his face. Mike gave dude one good shot to the dome and blood was everywhere. Tyson was then arrested for battery. Here’s the lowdown:

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.

Someone at the scene tells TMZ … the photographer got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. Our guy on the scene says there’s blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car. We’re told an ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX — we’re told the paparazzo was transported to a local hospital.

If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he’s a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon."

UPDATE: Tyson’s rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi — adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.
