British comic arrested in Los Angeles

BRITISH actor-comedian Russell Brand has been arrested following an altercation with a photographer.

The 35-year-old comic was taken into custody on Friday at Los Angeles International Airport for a misdemeanor charge of simple battery, according to police.

Brand was initially held on US$20,000 bail but later released on his own recognizance, Los Angeles Airport Police spokeswoman Belinda Nettles said.

The victim, a paparazzo who was not identified, placed Brand under citizen's arrest, Nettles said.

The alleged attack involving the two-time MTV Video Music Awards host and "Get Him To The Greek" star was first reported by TMZ, which posted video of the altercation that occurred as Brand and his fiancee, "California Gurls" singer Katy Perry, were surrounded by paparazzi.
