HAVANA -- Mike Tyson checked out of a Havana hotel early Wednesday, a day after witnesses said he shouted at and tossed glass Christmas ornaments at journalists trying to interview him.

There were no reports of injuries, arrests or serious damage following the Tuesday evening dispute.

	Witnesses say Mike Tyson threatened a group of journalists in a Havana hotel lobby.

Tyson, wearing jeans but no top, raised his fists in a threatening gesture and yelled insults, according to witnesses and Reuters journalists at the scene. Witnesses told Reuters that Tyson lightly hit a cameraman on the head.

"He just went crazy," said the cameraman, Felipe Borrego. "I was planning to ask him for an interview, but he never let me speak, he just turned on us."

The former heavyweight champion reportedly was headed to the airport for a flight on Air Jamaica after checking out at dawn, workers at the Hotel Melia Habana said.

Tyson arrived at the oceanfront hotel Monday evening with two bodyguards and stayed in a suite priced at around $500 a night, the hotel workers said.

Witnesses said that Tyson became angry when a small group of reporters approached him in the lobby.

They said Tyson grabbed a few large glass balls from the Christmas tree near the entrance and lobbed them at the reporters, who left shortly afterward.

In the last 12 months, Tyson has fought just once, knocking out Brian Nielsen in six rounds in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Oct. 13. He is scheduled to face WBC-IBF heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis in April.

Tyson was accused of sexual assaults twice in three months although prosecutors chose not to file charges against him. He also was fined $200,000 for refusing a pre-fight drug test when he faced Andrew Golota in October, 2000. He tested positive for marijuana following the fight, and his license to fight in Michigan was suspended for three months.
