At 4:30 p.m., the former boxing champ, 43, was passing through LAX from Europe en route to Las Vegas when a celebrity photographer began taking his picture at the United Airlines terminal, Sgt. Jim Holcomb tells PEOPLE.
“The two men got into a scuffle, and it’s alleged that Tyson hit the photographer once in the face with one hand, causing him to fall to the ground,” Holcomb says. “The photographer sustained a laceration to the forehead, and was taken to a local hospital.”
Officers arrived on the scene and detained Tyson, who was booked at a nearby LAPD station and held on $20,000 bail, according to police records.
Tyson was reportedly traveling with his wife and 10-month-old baby. Source
As of recent years, Mike Tyson has done a great job in controlling his anger and staying out of trouble. We find it very hard to believe that iron Mike “snapped” at LAX for no reason at all. Maybe the photographer invaded his personal space with his family? Who knows? Watch the media try to bring down Mike once again…
