New footage of Louis Tomlinson's arrest has emerged showing him rushing to his rumoured lady friend's aid after she was surrounded by two women.
The famous pop star was arrested on suspicion of attacking a photographer in a late night brawl at baggage claim at at Los Angeles International Airport.
Louis and rumoured girlfriend Eleanor Calder were returning from Florida, after the last show of the Twilight Tour, before the month long break last night when Louis was spotted by waiting paparazzi.
The new video, published by RadarOnline , shows Louis confronting the photographer, named as Karl Larsson, as he tried to take pictures of Eleanor, 23.
He tries to grab Larsson's camera and the pair get into a tangle as Louis trips and brings the photographer down to the floor with him.
Then Louis can be heard shouting "what the hell is happening?" and "can we get some help?" as he rushes over to help Eleanor.
It is claimed the altercation was because one of the women - who has told The Sun she was a fan of Louis' - was trying to take pictures of Louis.
The woman, who has been pictured but not named, has claimed she was bundled to the floor and received an eye injury.

Airport security then intervened and Louis and Eleanor walked away.
Louis' lawyer Martin Singer earlier released a statement on his behalf.
He said: "The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis at the airport this morning.
"This is not the first or last time that a paparazzi has created an altercation with a celebrity.
"While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defence, causing airport security to intervene".
