TMZ reports that Tyson had punched a member of the paparazzi in the face at LAX Airport and that there was “blood everywhere.” The paparazzo was taken by ambulance to the hospital.  Tyson’s rep said that Iron Mike was traveling with his 10 month old daughter and acted in self-defense against paparazzi gone wild. Tyson was booked on a misdemeanor battery charge and later released on his own recognizance.

The photographer gives his version of what happened:

    This might sound wild to some, but I’m actually waiting for the day that someone shoots, stabs or runs over one of these paparazzi dudes which results in death. These dudes need to understand, that stalking, and intruding on people’s privacy is not REAL work!

    Reminds me of those motherf**kers who used to incite and agaitate me when I was a kid….some ass had to be in your face to get a rise out of you..I’m glad Mike puch his assed out. Maybe he learned that STALKING is not godd reporting, or as they said in that rap song; Don’t start no s**t, won’t be no s**t!

    ‘Mike Tyson walks to terminal 7′ Wow!, what a great story! Dude’s an idiot who can’t find work in Hollywood as a real photog, so he has to camp out at LAX and stalk famous people and earn bread crumbs. His whole story is suspect, and I’m glad he got trucked. And the police just can never wait to toss Mike into a squad car. Assholes.

    Im kmla the comments below me…and I have to agree WITH everyone BELOW me. Ya’ll said-it ALL. :)

    Poor Tyson! He is actually trying, but the poor boy has it rough. The paparazzi is definitely ruthless and disrespectful. However, unfortunately laws are in place for a reason and assault is nothing to play with in the legal system. Especially if you have a record. We as blacks support violence many times, quoting “If that would have been me I would have beat his/her a**”, but we have to remember that there is a time and place for everything. In this situation, who knows. Everyone has a boiling point and when it comes to your family as black woman you definitely will not take no stuff from no one. Therefore, I just pray all will be well for him, because I believe that he is trying his hardest to live life right. To God Be the Glory.

    Tyson should hire a bodyguard to do the dirty work for him. Ya neva see Bey get into these situations cuz shes Smart :)

    Are ya’ll forgetting that Mike Tyson just lost a child? How would you react to someone harassing you? It ain’t his fault, he does need his space. I hope he doesn’t get in any trouble for this and my prayers go out to him and his fam. Losing someone in your immediate family ain’t something you get over in months… you never get over it. People just need to leave him alone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/agood14u2luv/ agood14u2luv

    They need to get out the way!! Leave Mike the h*ll alone. He is trying to go on with his life. I hope that the judge does not give them anything(you know they are gonna try and sue). The judgement should be a lesson learned. IF YOU TAUNT A PIT YOU GONNA GIT BIT!!!! Mike the next time LET ME AT EM!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sugarfoots54/ sugarfoots54

    Dude got what he deserrved, but the Judge is not going to see it that way, they killed princess Diana, but the judge is going to abide by the law, no one should ever hit another individual regardless, even an intruder in your home. Mike may have to do time, so the Judge can use him as an example as a hardheaded criminal.

    Oh well, the paparazzo gets what he deserves. You shouldn’t have been following him around anyway being nosey. You do that then whatever happens to you happens.

    Mike is a real cool dude. Every issue that comes about is becuse some a*****e wants to just nag and ask dumb questions and then make up stuff if they dont get an answer they want. Alot of people need to do just what mike did and start breaking peoples face and they will get the hint that , paparazzi need to leave people alone before they start getting put under the ground…Mike get at me…on the real

    Maybe those turds need to go BACK to school and learn how to do GOOD jounalism and stop getting into other people’s buisiness and harassing them and you won’t lose your teeth, blood or anything else. Like i said before; don’t strart no s**t, won’t be no s**t!

    I guess he was hinting that Mike was getting on Coach and he was trying to stall or lose the papparazzi so the camera’s wouldnt see that he’s gotta fly coach. That’s the part of fame nobody wants. People all in the bidness
