LOS ANGELES — Police say boxer Mike Tyson has been detained on suspicion of battery following an alleged altercation with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

Airport police spokesman Sgt. Jim Holcomb says the incident happened about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in Terminal 7 at a United Airlines ticket counter.

Holcomb says the photographer has accused Tyson of hitting him. The photographer fell to the ground and cut his forehead. He's being treated at a hospital.

Holcomb says both Tyson and the photographer want to press charges for misdemeanor battery. He says Tyson was compliant and cooperative with officers and is currently waiting in a holding cell at the airport.
