Mike Tyson Arrested at LAX
Posted Nov 11th 2009 8:17PM by TMZ Staff
UPDATE 8:13 PM PT: Tyson has been booked for misdemeanor battery and his bail has been set at $20,000.

TMZ has learned Mike Tyson has been arrested at LAX airport for battery after a bloody confrontation with Lou Dobbs outside the United terminal. We're told Tyson bit Lou's left ear off and there is blood everywhere.

Dobbs had just arrived at LAX with his girlfriend, former beauty queen Carrie Prejean.



We're told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. Lou Dobbs got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood. An LAPD spokesperson said Dobbs suffered a minor laceration to the forehead.

Someone at the scene tells TMZ ... Dobbs got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. Our says there's blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car. We're told an ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX and Lou Dobbs was transported to a local hospital.

Cops say Tyson and Dobbs performed citizen's arrests on each other -- both are expected to be booked for misdemeanor battery. Cops also said witnesses backed both stories ... so that could get interesting.

If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he's a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon.

Tyson's rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old daughter when he was attacked by an overly aggressive Lou Dobbs -- adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.
