We just learned that Kanye West was arrested this morning in the UK after allegedly assaulting a paparazzi photographer.

According to the British newspaper, The London Paper, West was arrested around 1:10 am this morning after allegedly assaulting a photographer outside Tup Tup nightclub in Newcastle.

The photographer, Terry Blackburn, claims that he suffered cuts and bruises to his face after Kanye pushed his camera into his face while yelling “Get the f***ing camera off him.”

West was reportedly arrested three hours later at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead. He was released without being charged.

UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with the photog — who claims Kanye did, in fact, smash his face in around 2AM London time.

According to the snapper, it all went down when Kanye was leaving the club with 4 girls, upset that he was being captured on film. After getting angry, Kanye allegedly got violent — shoving the camera into the snappers face, causing a cut on his nose.
