Details are still a bit sketchy, with most the reporting about the incident originating from a LiveDaily article in which they report, "At Los Angeles International Airport, Rose got into a scuffle with a paparazzo that ended up with a few bloodied participants."

We now have Axl's side of the story from the PR firm LCO, who issued this press release: Axl Rose, lead singer for the legendary rock group Guns N' Roses, was unhurt last evening when he was accosted by an unruly group of paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

At the time of the incident, Mr. Rose was en-route to Taipei, Taiwan, to kick-off Guns N' Roses' tour of Southeast Asia including shows in Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Mr. Rose, who was about to enter a security checkpoint at LAX when the altercation took place, was approached by a group of unchecked and unruly photographers who became aggressive with the singer and female members of the traveling group.

Mr. Rose was not injured during the unprovoked attack and was able to board his flight without further incident.
