Mike Tyson Sinks Further Down The Drain Like The Proverbial Pig
Boxer Mike Tyson was questioned by police last Thursday after a television cameraman accused the former heavyweight champion of assaulting him outside a nightclub.
The former heavyweight champion could face charges of assault and destruction of property, police spokeswoman Kelly Pinheiro said. A court hearing has been scheduled for Friday, but Tyson can send a representative and is not required to appear.
Pinheiro said she did not know who would represent Tyson in court.
Carlos Eduardo da Silva, a cameraman with the Brazilian television network SBT, told police Tyson pushed him and threw his camera to the ground outside the club, then removed a videotape and put it in his pocket.
Police said Tyson acknowledged damaging the camera but denied pushing Silva. He was later released.
Tyson, 39, held a news conference Wednesday asking the Brazilian media not to approach him at night.
Tyson came to Sao Paulo following a trip to Argentina, where he was interviewed by soccer great Diego Maradona on his late-night show.
The former world champion has been in trouble in and out of the ring for much of his adult life. Tyson has served time for rape, bitten Evander Holyfield’s ear, tried to break another fighter’s arm and threatened to eat the children of former champion Lennox Lewis.
