It could have been a helluva lot worse.

Mike Tyson and photographer Tony Echeverria are being investigated for misdemeanor battery after an airport scuffle that injured the paparazzo, police said Thursday. The two men both made citizens’ arrests of each other after a confrontation at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport. Police were called and they were fingerprinted and photographed, then released without bail, according to police officials.
