Mike Tyson accused of assaulting TV cameraman in Brazil
November 10, 2005
SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Mike Tyson was questioned by police early Thursday after a television cameraman accused the former heavyweight champion of assaulting him outside a nightclub.
Tyson could face charges of assault and destruction of property, police spokeswoman Kelly Pinheiro said. A court hearing has been scheduled for Friday, but Tyson can send a representative and is not required to appear.
Carlos Eduardo da Silva, a cameraman with the Brazilian television network SBT, told police Tyson pushed him and threw his camera to the ground outside the club, then removed a videotape and put it in his pocket.
Police said Tyson acknowledged damaging the camera but denied pushing Silva. He was later released.
The 39-year-old Tyson held a news conference Wednesday asking the Brazilian media not to approach him at night.
Tyson came to Sao Paulo following a trip to Argentina, where he was interviewed by soccer great Diego Maradona on his late-night show.
The former champion has been in trouble in and out of the ring for much of his adult life. Tyson has served time for rape, bitten Evander Holyfield's ear, tried to break another fighter's arm and threatened to eat the children of former champion Lennox Lewis. |

This is one of Mike Tyson's more tame attacks. At least he didn't bite off a body part.

Maybe he was one of the mysterious men that helped Ugeth Urbina slice and dice some guys into 30 different kinds of french fries. :D

That's not really his style. He'd rather smack them into Bolivian.
