Rap star Kanye West has been arrested on suspicion of vandalism after a row with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport. The incident happened before he cleared security screening at the airport before boarding a flight to Hawaii. The rapper and his bodyguard were later released on bail, while prosecutors are still considering whether to press charges against the two men.
His bodyguard could face an additional charge of assault. According to an airport spokesman, a camera valued at $10,000 was broken in the incident. The witnesses were interviewed by police at the airport while Mr West and his bodyguard were taken to a nearby Los Angeles police station for questioning. He declined to speak to reporters when he was later released on Thursday afternoon. Mr West had been due to board an early morning American Airlines flight to Honolulu when the incident took place.
