Kanye West ‘may face felony attempted robbery charge’ as airport attack video emerges (WATCH)

Kanye West may face a felony attempted  robbery charge stemming from his airport altercation on Friday with a  photographer, it has been claimed.

The 36-year-old singer, who recently welcomed  his first child with reality star Kim Kardashian, charged a paparazzo who was  peppering him with questions upon the singer’s arrival at Los Angeles  International Airport Friday.

The photographer  was taken to a hospital following the assault and told authorities that he wants  to press charges against West, TMZ reports.

Police officers will refer the case to the  Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office as a felony attempted robbery  rather than the lesser charge of battery, according to the website.

The case has been transferred to the Los  Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division for investigation as  police suspect West committed an attempted robbery when he struck the  photographer and tried to take his camera. Prosecutors will ultimately decide  which charges will be filed, if any.

Kanye was surrounded by about five paparazzi  who captured the incident and the singer left with his bodyguard in their  car.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Airport  Police said in a statement to X17online: ‘Today at approximately  2:00 p.m., at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (on the arrival level  curbside), Los Angeles Airport Police officers were flagged down by a citizen  (photographer) who alleged that he was taking pictures of an individual when he  was battered by the subject.’

‘The alleged subject was not at the location  nor was he observed by officers at the scene.’

Adding: ‘LAFD was notified, responded to the  location and transported the victim to a local hospital for medical attention. A  police report was taken by the Los Angeles Police Department and the  investigation is ongoing.’

The rapper has made no secret of his contempt  for photographers and just last week he went on a furious rant while at the same  airport after a  snapper complimented his music.

‘Don’t talk, don’t talk to me,’ he said in  the outburst while grabbing the camera.

However, Kanye, appears to be completely  oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend and mother of his child, Kim  Kardashian, 32, is a reality star who has made her name through constantly being  photographed and followed by cameras.

Kim and her family have allowed camera crews  into their homes since their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians became a hit  in 2007 following Kim’s sex tape scandal.

Since then, all members of the family have  relied on reality television to acquire fame, actively seeking out press and  publicity to enhance their careers.

But it seems that Kanye has had trouble  adjusting to the lifestyle.

Sadly for the Kardashians, Kanye’s violent  outburst took place on the same day that Kim’s mother Kris Jenner insisted that  the rapper does not have a temper.

The 57-year-old made the comments whilst  appearing on The Talk on Friday, although now seem completely redundant in light  of Kanye’s recent attack.

‘Knowing Kanye and I do know him very, very  well and I am very close to him…he doesn’t have a short temper  like everybody  thinks.’ she said.

Talking about the first incident which took  place last month, she added: ‘So we  don’t know, I don’t know. I am just only  seeing this for the first time. So I don’t know what happened before that so I  don’t want to comment or judge on something when I wasn’t there.’

‘None of us know the fifteen minutes that  happened before that and how crazy they could have gotten.

‘I think what happens with anybody who gets  upset over something with paparazzi-related issues is that they are obviously  provoked to an extent that we don’t see nothing about,’ she said.
