Mike Tyson Arrested For Punching Paparrazo In The Face

Mike Tyson was arrested at LAX airport for battery after a confrontation with a paparazzo. Mike allegedly punched the pap in the face who left a trail of blood as he walked around the airport.
Police tells the AP that both Tyson and the paparrazo want to press charges. Tyson will be booked and released as will the pap…once he is out of the hospital. Reportedly the pap got real close to Tyson before he eventually clocked him.
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.
This photo is at Heathrow airport in London earlier in the day before the incident.
UPDATE: Tyson was released on his own recognizance.

According to E! news, this dude went so far as to follow Tyson into the bathroom and he allegedly put his hands on Tyson first. Who in their right mind would provoke Tyson?
