Mike Tyson Arrested For Attacking Photog
Filed under: Legal Matters > Mike Tyson
Note to all paparazzi: Don't piss off a former heavyweight champion or you may end up like this guy!
On Wednesday, Mike Tyson - along with his wife and 10 month old child - were trying to make their way through LAX when an overly aggressive paparazzo went after the boxer.
Tyson, who says he was acting in self-defense to protect his kid, struck the pap in the face and after one hit was down for the count.
Ouch.
Tyson was arrested and released after being booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. The photog will also be charged once he's released from the hospital.
If anything the pap should be thankful that he still has an ear!

I'd kick his ass!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure the scumbag photographer had it coming.
Good for Mike! He just wants him and his family to be left alone.
Too bad it wasn't you on the receiving end. I'd like to see you crying like a little girl again.
Mike Tyson is the man. I hope there is a video of this.
I hate this Fuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Da paps axed iffen Mikey still used da speed bag… n Mikey thought he said tea bag… dats how it went down mario.
I don't particularly like MT, but the guy probably deserved it. If I had already lost one child through a horrific accident, you can be damn sure my overprotective instincts would have kicked in, too.
hey mario, go call mike the f word
Re: Perez Smells His Skidmarks – lol!like a little baby!!!wawawaaaa
Good for Tyson. I always thought he was a scumbag but I have new respect for him.
Paps have injured and killed people, they are a scourge and deserve what they get.
When will the paps learn their lesson? Yes, I get that it's their job, but damn, must they be so aggressive and so intrusive. These paps have these high end camera with zoom lens, no doubt. Can't they take a pic from across the street or something. Must they invade everyone's space? Clearly he was close enough to get knocked the f**k out…DAMN!
GO MIKE!!!
That's class….it's about time someone did this to those scumbags, let's hope Iron Mike gets a hold of you next Perez
Love Mike!
Do what you have to do!
Maybe he should have tried raping him.
God Bless Mike Tyson..
Yeah anus face why dont you go try to talk to him!!!
paps who stalk people while they are with small children deserve as much.
M.T isnt the sharpest tool in the shed, but I dont believe he is the monster they paint him to be..Don King should be shot!
He should have killed that stupid piece of sh!t paparazzo.
These assholes are the scum of the Earth.
not that i'm a huge fan of tyson but im glad the pap got hit– there needs to be more laws abt how close paparrizi can get
If that guy was dumb enough to get in Mike Tyson's face, he deserved what he got. Hopefully MT won't get charged with assault with a deadly weapon. It should be self defense in this case.
whats he complaining about, he still has his ear
I'm sorry but what idiot hassels Mike Tyson? He had the hardest punch in the 80s, you think he can't hit now because he lost to holyfield?
Pap got what he deserved. Too bad it wasn't Adnan Ghalib.
good lord how stupid was that photographer? who the hell would shove a camera in the face of *mike tyson*???
the arrogance and nerve of the paparazzi is getting out of control. I say if you get in someone's face on purpose you deserve to end up in the hospital.
Honestly, what's wrong with that paparazzi guy bothering Mike Tyson like that? Mike was the heavyweight champion of the world. Just because he's 43 doesn't mean he still can't beat some ass. The paparazzi guy got what he deserved. Those paparazzi people are just too much.
