Mike Tyson arrested after airport fight

November seems to be the month for celebrities embarrassing themselves at airports. First Britney Spears passes through airport security carrying a Big Gulp, and now Mike Tyson is arrested for a fight at LAX.

Details are sketchy at the moment but police arrested the former heavyweight champion and photographer Tony Echevarria after an incident at the Los Angeles airport yesterday. The photographer claims Tyson decked him. He was brought to a hospital and treated for a cut to his forehead. Tyson’s attorney claims Echevarria was overly aggressive and Tyson feared for the safety of his wife and infant child. Both say they want to press misdemeanor battery charges.

Police booked both men and released them on suspicion of battery.

Presumably a security camera caught this incident on film, so expect to see some video of this pretty soon.

While it’s always tempting to take pictures of celebrities at airports, it’s best not to act like the paparazzi while doing it. Tony Echevarria got off easy. He may have gotten a cut to the forehead, but at least he didn’t get his ear bitten off.
