Los Angeles Airport Police spokeswoman Belinda Nettles said the victim, a paparazzo who was not identified, placed Brand under citizen’s arrest. The entire incident was captured on video.
The altercation took place as Brand and his fiancee, singer Katy Perry, were surrounded by paparazzi as they entered the Delta airlines terminal.
Brand’s publicists did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
