Oct 19 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A photographer with the paparazzi has sued Mike Tyson for twenty five million dollars on Monday. Antonia Echevarria sustains that he received several injuries when he was involved in a scuffle with the boxer at LAX Airport last November.

He also told the courts that Tyson told him, “I will kill you.” Echevarria claims that Tyson came after him at the airport, which caused him to obtain injuries to his face, brain, neck, spine, and other places.

The incident allegedly occurred while Tyson was traveling through the airport on his way to Las Vegas. The boxer had his wife, mother in law, and ten month old baby girl with him. Both Tyson and Echevarria placed each other under citizen’s arrest at the time, and both made complaints of being battered. However, Tyson ended up being taken into custody while Echevarria was sent to a local hospital to receive treatment for a minor cut to his forehead.

Tyson’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley stated, “Mr. Tyson and his family were without security and attempting to make a connecting flight when they were aggressively approached by a paparazzo intent on provoking and harassing them. The paparazzo repeatedly refused to comply with the orders and directives of airport personnel to leave the family alone and continued to aggressively pursue the Tyson family–at one point colliding with the baby’s stroller. Mr. Tyson remains confident that this matter will be appropriately addressed as the witnesses are interviewed and the facts borne out,” according to ‘Popeater’.
