Tomlinson’s lawyer released a statement regarding the altercation.

“The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis at the airport this morning,” said lawyer Martin Singer. “This is not the first or last time that a paparazzo has created an altercation with a celebrity. While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defence.”

According to police documents, the singer was subjected to a citizen’s arrest. He was granted a $20,000 bail and is set to appear in court on March 29.
