Russell Brand has just been arrested for allegedly attacking paparazzi at LAX airport ... TMZ has learned, and it was a citizen's arrest.
As we first reported, Brand and Katy Perry were going through Delta security when he allegedly began pushing and striking paparazzi.
We're told a photog -- one of the alleged victims -- made the citizen's arrest and LAX cops facilitated it.
Cops interviewed Brand, then took him into custody. Cops say he's being booked for battery.
Check out this video of another angle of the incident.
UPDATE 5:54 PM PT: Russell has posted $20,000 bail and has left the police station.
Around the same time, Katy defended Russell via Twitter, saying, "If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me."
The alleged upskirting is not seen in video of the incident.

Awesome, Russell got the press that he always seeks so. He's a hack and don't find him very funny and is kind of an idiot.
Why is this guy a celebrity? He's not funny AT ALL and can't act for either. I hope he's cheating on Katy Perry (as if he's not - LOL) and gives her herpes and syphilis.
It's just a matter of time before that former LSD, cocaine, crack and heroin addict relapses. He obviously has anger management issues too. Katy picked a real winner here. He'll end up washed up and forgotten about in under 10 years just like Tara Reid.
I hope he damaged a few of those paparazzi guys. They ask for a beating as part of their job, so I love it when someone gives them one.
Cheers to a funny guy.
After his experience in jail, Russell can record the song "I Kissed A Boy and I Liked It"....
That's bull****! Why the hell is the paparazzi allowed in the security area at LAX. When are these people ever left alone? If I had a camera in my face 24/7 I would snap also!
I find it quite funny that a pap (leech) made a citizen arrest. Can I make one on them when they run me off the road trying to get there "shot" I dont care for RB but the paps need to chill the hell out already. There like scavengers.
