Paparazzo arrested after scuffle for spot at LAX
LOS ANGELES — A battle by a pair of paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport ended with one of them in the hospital and the other in jail.
Airport police spokeswoman Sgt. Belinda Nettles said Saturday that 42-year-old Stefan Saad was arrested on suspicion of felony battery after the Friday night scuffle with another photographer as the two tried to get a spot on an airport curb for a shot of British singer Pixie Lott.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Web site said Saad was released Saturday after posting $50,000 bail.
Nettles says the second paparazzo was treated at a local hospital. His name and condition were not released.
