Kardashian's baby daddy allegedly flipped out on the paparazzo as he was leaving the airport with a bodyguard and the pap’s injuries were so bad that paramedics were called to the scene.
Kanye “shoved the photog to the ground and yelled at him after trying to take a few snaps,” the photo agency claimed at the time.
“Kanye came out of the terminal and attacked the videographer by allegedly grabbing his shoulders and punched him. The paramedics were called to the scene and the victim was rushed to the hospital.”
