Following an altercation at LAX, Mike Tyson was arrested and taken to jail on suspicion of battery. According to the report by KTLA, the incident was between Tyson and a paparazzi photographer. The photographer was said to have been aggressive towards Tyson who allegedly hit the photographer. The photographer was taken to the hospital but was also arrested after his release. He will most likely be facing charges similar to Tyson. Tyson told police he was acting in self-defense and protecting his 10-month-old baby who was with him.
