LOS ANGELES - Rap star Kanye West was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday after attacking the paparazzi.
West was charged with felony vandalism, and his manager, Don Crowley, was also taken into custody.
The nine-time Grammy Award winner rushed towards a photographer who was snapping his photos and a scuffle ensued, which ended with West smashing the camera to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
A cameraman from celebrity news website TMZ.com, was filming the brawl when West came over to him and demanded he hand over his video camera.
West then threw the flash part of the video camera onto the ground, while his manager smashed the rest of the video camera.
West and Crowley were later stopped by police while trying to board a flight to Hawaii, and were held in police custody until posting bail later that afternoon.
The US superstar with a notorious temper is no stranger to controversy. Last year, he vowed never to return to MTV after failing to win any awards at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA).
However, he recently ended his boycott and closed the VMAs on September 7 at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
