Pixie paparazzi arrested after fracas

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 Sergeant Belinda Nettles said 42-year-old Stefan Saad was arrested on suspicion of felony battery after the scuffle with another photographer as the two tried to get a spot on an airport curb for a shot of singer Pixie Lott.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department web site said Saad was released after posting $50,000 bail.

Ms Nettles said the second paparazzo was treated at a local hospital.

His name and condition were not released.
