Tyson arrested after punching photographer

Mike Tyson was briefly detained by Los Angeles police after a bust-up with a photographer at the city's international airport. The ex-world heavyweight champion allegedly punched the photographer, who fell and was being treated in hospital for a cut to his forehead, police said. Both men want to press charges of battery against each other, the BBC reports. Tyson's lawyer suggested photographers had tried to follow his client, who was with his wife and baby, into a toilet. But photographer Tony Echevarria told police that Tyson had struck him once during the incident on Wednesday. After treatment for his cut, airport police said, the photographer was also cautioned and both he and the Tyson were released "on suspicion of misdemeanour battery". Californian sentencing guidelines for the offence range from a fine to a custodial sentence.
