US rapper Kanye West has been bailed after being arrested following a row with photographers at Los Angeles International Airport.

West's road manager, Don Crowley, who was also arrested during the incident, was also bailed yesterday afternoon after posting a $20,000 bond.

Both men were charged with felony vandalism, a Los Angeles Police spokesperson confirmed.

As previously reported, West and Crowley were captured on video smashing a photographers camera at the American Airlines terminal as they waited to board a flight to Hawaii.

After realising they had been caught on video, Crowley then pursued the film-maker and grabbed his camera, causing exterior damage to the device.

The video has since been published by the celebrity website TMZ.

West's arrest comes days after he performed a new track, 'Love Lockdown', at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
