Mike Tyson Arrested for Punching Paparazzo
Posted November 12th, 2009 by fashiongossip
Mike Tyson was arrested after punching a photographer at LAX on Wednesday.
The paparazzo was allegedly quite aggressive and was all up in Tyson’s face (like a moron) before getting punched. We hear he may even have egged Tyson on by hitting or pushing him.
The incident took place at a United Airlines ticket counter while Tyson was with his wife and 10-month old baby. Tyson claims he was protecting his child from the cameraman, and after losing a child back in May, I don’t think you can really blame him.
Tyson took one swing at the paparazzo and apparently it was effective. The cameraman dropped to the ground after the former heavyweight champ nailed him, and his forehead bled profusely from a cut. But hey, everyone knows that head wounds bleed like a bitch. Buck up, a**hole.
The cameraman was also arrested and both parties were booked on misdemeanor battery charges. Witnesses at the scene back up both stories.
I don’t know about you, but I think Mike had to have been provoked. And if that is the case, that cameraman had it coming! Some of those bastards are so slimy that they will pull a stunt like this just to get a shot, or a story, out of it.
Well have to wait and see how this one pans out, but I am definitely on Team Mike.
