Drummer Travis Barker Of Blink 182 got into a heated argument that almost turned into a brawl with paparazzi yesterday (Sunday February 21).
In video footage obtained by TMZ, Travis can be seen leaving a restaurant with his kids when he spots several paps he believes threatened him earlier that morning when he was outnumbered 3-1.
Apparently he called up a few homies to even things up so by the time he finishes breakfast it was 3 against 3.
However, TMZ is reporting that the photographers he confronts are not the ones from the original altercation.
After a lot of arguing,cursing and a brief scuffle the police were called.
The photogs refused to press charges and no arrests were made but a vandalism report was filed because the photographer's tires were slashed.
Travis took to his twitter account to give his side of the story.
"When I'm out at breakfast at 8am in the morning the last thing i appreciate is some photographer threatening me 2 a fight while he's 3 deep.
When i defend myself/my kids that don't make me a tough guy .I was outnumbered and threatened so i did what any man would.
Paparazzi cried like young girls when it was no longer 3 of them against me and my kids. Didn't they remember threatening me an hr ago??
What happened to the tough guys with the cameras? It was gonna be a fair fight..3 against 3? I mean i weigh a buck 40, your 200lbs and 6'6
Bottom line, take photos at red carpets. Take pics of hungry hollywood starlets and douche bags that are out at clubs and bars that like it.
Bottom line I don't . I'm not a socialite out begging for that kind of attention. I'm a family man out wit my kids. Don't get the 2 twisted
And of course all the footage these lames released to the press is one sided cause they edited it"
