One Direction's Louis Tomlinson was arrested after an altercation with a paparazzi. While he was stopping the photographer from taking pictures of his girlfriend Eleanor Calder, two female passengers attacked his girlfriend.
While he was grabbing the camera, Tomlinson tripped that caused the pap to be knocked down on the floor. Karl Larssen was later treated for concussion at a nearby hospital according to a report from The Sun.
The singer then turned to Eleanor who was caught up in a brawl. He was heard shouting asking what was happening. The altercation happened because Eleanor was stopping the two girls from recording Tomlinson's altercation with the media man.
The singer saw his girlfriend being pushed to a corner. A female fan complained that he threw her to the floor and socked her. She was determined to file charges against the One Direction member.
He was arrested for battery but was released even without paying the bail of $20,000. The fan who claimed he was hurt by the 25-year-old singer was tracked by fans online and was issued death threats. She, in turn, deleted her account.
Colleagues of the singer defended him claiming that he was just out to protect his girlfriend and accidentally hurt her attackers. The incident was recorded by the airport security camera showing Larssen lying flat on his back.
According to Daily Mail, Tomlinson's lawyer Martin Singer said that the paparazzi provoked the singer that caused the altercation. This was not the first incident that happened between a media man and a celebrity.
