Louis Tomlinson’s Friend Says This Is What Really Happened When He Was Arrested At The Weekend

In case you missed it, former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson was arrested over the weekend.

The star was in LAX Airport with his girlfriend Eleanor Calder when an altercation took place involving a photographer.

The incident appeared to spiral when Eleanor was then caught up in another scuffle with two female fans.

According to the Daily Mirror, Louis then rushed over to “protect his girlfriend” before airport security intervened.

Louis was later arrested for battery, before being released on bail the following day.
