As we reported earlier, Kanye West was arrest earlier today after getting into a scuffle with a paparazzi at Los Angeles' L.A.X. airport.  According to an eyewitness West and his bodyguard attacked a photographer after he took a few pictures of the rapper.  In a video released by TMZ the photographer is heard yelling for the police as West and his road manager/bodyguard, identified as Don Crowley, wrestle the his equipment away and smash it on the ground.  When Crowley notices that a TMZ reporter is filming the attack he tries to wrestle the camera from him too as airport security runs over to intervene.  

West and Crowley then tried to board the American Airlines plane destined for Hawaii when police stopped to question them.  As part of their investigation they asked the TMZ reporter, identified as Erik, if he had footage of the event and he said he did, Kanye then lunged at him, in front of the cops, and they had to restrain and detain him.  

Kanye West was charged with felony vandalism. He was released in the afternoon after posting a $20,000 bond/

His publicist declined to comment.
