Brand, 35, and his fiancee, pop sensation Katy Perry, were making their way through airport security when Brand became upset and began pushing and hitting photographers who were snapping pictures of the famous couple. A member of the paparazzi then placed him under “citizen’s arrest.”

Brand was taken into custody for suspected battery after being interviewed by airport police. The couple obviously didn’t board their scheduled flight to Las Vegas. After the drama went down, Perry, 24, had a few words to share with the Twitter world:

“If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me.#standbyyourman#don’tf**kwiththeBrands.”

Looks like we’ll be hearing more out of this! A spokesperson said Brand will be booked at the LAPD Pacific division.
