Boxer Mike Tyson Arrested in N.Y. Brawl
NEW YORK - Mike Tyson was arrested early Saturday after a brawl with two men outside a Brooklyn hotel and was charged with assault and disorderly conduct.
The former heavyweight champion was treated for minor cuts to his hands after the two men apparently retrieved an object from the hotel lobby and used it against him, police said. Police added they had no further information on the object.
The brawl broke out about 5:30 a.m. outside the hotel where Tyson was staying, police said. They did not immediately have information on what started the fight.
The Brooklyn district attorney's office said Tyson was expected to be arraigned late Saturday or early Sunday.
A call to Shelly Finkel, adviser to the 36-year-old Brooklyn-born boxer, was not immediately returned.
The two other men in the brawl also were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Police identified one as Nestor Alvarez, 24, but they did not identify the other.
One of the two men and a woman who was with them were taken to Bellevue Hospital and treated for minor injuries, police said. Tyson was not taken to the hospital.
::SIGH:: Anotha' day in the life of Mike is the only comment I have.
