November 12th, 2009

Mike Tyson was arrested on Wednesday (November 11) at Los Angeles Airport, after he allegedly punched a member of the paparazzi, leaving the photographer with a laceration to the forehead.

According to Tyson’s spokesperson, the former boxing champ was traveling with his 10-year-old daughter and acted in self-defense against an overly aggressive photog.

TMZ reports that if the 43-year-old is prosecuted, he could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon due to his boxing history.
