Professional boxer Mike Tyson was arrested on Wednesday after fighting with a celebrity photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.
The photographer, Tony Echevarria, who was also taken into custody, suffered a cut to his forehead and had to be taken to a local hospital.
Tyson told authorities that the photographer hit him in an attempt to provoke him. The photographer, meanwhile, claimed that Tyson punched him in the face and tried to take the roll of film from his camera.
Echevarria claims blood was "everywhere, like a water fountain."
