Kanye West Charged With Criminal Battery And Attempted Grand Theft

The allegation is that West attacked a paparazzo at LAX.

Kanye went off on the photog … who dared to speak with him as he left the airport. The photog went to the hospital and has filed a lawsuit. The photog hired Gloria Allred, who has said the attack left her client badly injured.

Just days before the attack Kanye issued multiple warnings to the paparazzi NOT to speak to him.

If convicted of both misdemeanors … Kanye faces a maximum of 1 year in jail.

He’ll be arraigned October 10th.
