ET has obtained Mike Tyson's booking sheet following his reported detainment by police at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 43-year-old former boxing champ was arrested at 4:55 p.m., booked and later released at 8:24 p.m. His bail amount was listed as $20,000.

The Associated Press reports that Tyson detained by police on suspicion of battery following an incident involving a photographer at a United Airlines ticket counter. According to the news agency, the photographer says Tyson hit him, and the photographer fell to the ground and cut his forehead. A rep for the boxer, however, tells the AP that Tyson was traveling with his wife and 10-month-old baby and was attacked by the photographer. The rep tells the AP that Tyson was acting in self-defense to protect his infant.

The AP says that both the photog and Tyson want to press misdemeanor battery charges. They also report that Tyson was held in a holding cell at the airport, and that the photographer is being treated at a hospital, but will be booked by police upon his release.

Sgt. Jim Holcomb, the spokesperson of the LAX police, tells the AP, "There's a lot of different versions to this story and that's all going to come out later. There were numerous witnesses and that's what this whole case is going to depend on."

Keep checking back here for details on this developing story.
