Russell Brand was arrested for battery at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after allegedly attacking a photographer.
The British funnyman was traveling with fiance Katy Perry when he became irate with a photographer and struck him on Friday afternoon.
Perry, 25, has since claimed on her Twitter page that Brand leapt to her defence when a paparazzo tied to take pictures up her dress.
She wrote: 'If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me. #standbyyourman #don't f*** with the Brands.'
According to U.S. reports, another photographer made a citizens arrest on the 35-year-old before airport police stepped in.
Both Brand and Perry missed their scheduled flights to Las Vegas.
Los Angeles Airport Police spokesman Belinda Nettles said yesterday: 'About 1:50 pm today, Los Angeles Airport Police responded to Terminal 5 to a report of a battery involving a celebrity and a commercial photographer.
'The victim involved placed the suspect Russell Brand under private person's arrest.
'Airport Police took the suspect into custody for Penal Code Section 242 - battery.
'He will be booked at the LAPD Pacific Division station.'
After the arrest police were seen taking their own pictures of the alleged victim, who appeared to have a bruise on the left side of his face.
