Tyson and the photographer Tony Echevarria, 50, both want to press charges of misdemeanor battery against each other, police said. Echevarria told police that Tyson struck him once, the photographer fell to the ground and was treated for a cut to his forehead at a hospital. Tyson's spokeswoman Tammy Brook said the boxer was passing through Los Angeles on his way from Europe to Las Vegas with his wife and 10-month-old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzo. The 43-year-old acted in self-defense to protect his child, she said.
