Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was arrested last week on charges of misdemeanor battery.  The incident stemmed from an altercation between Tyson and a media photographer at the Los Angeles Airport.  Tyson's blow knocked the photographer to the ground and left him with a cut to the forehead.  

Tyson, however, who was with his wife and 10-month old child at the time, claims he was merely acting in self-defense, and defense of his child, after being attacked by the the photographer. 

Both men were booked and released and both want charges pressed against the other. 

While the photographer's name and history remains a mystery, Tyson's past troubles with the law, including charges of domestic violence, drug use and rape, as well as his public displays of uncontrolled anger and ear-biting, have been well-publicized.    

Has Tyson's infamous temper struck again or is this just another all too familiar case of paparazzi stalking?  We'll have to let the evidence speak for itself.
