Mickey’s return to the US caused a commotion as photographers were spotted following the Hollywood actor after he landed.
One photographer appeared to be clipped by a moving bus while snapping the star outside the airport.
A content creator interviewed Mickey, 72, as he walked through the airport while pushing his luggage on a trolley.
As Mickey headed towards his taxi, a photographer following him collided with an oncoming bus.
The interviewer caught the reaction of those standing near the airport’s pick-up point.
He gasped: “Oh my god,” before the camera went blank for a few seconds.
Mickey was heard saying: “He’s lucky,” while a number of onlookers looked on in horror.
The social media user told his fans: “The other pap literally just got hit with the bus, that’s not good.
“He seemed like he was okay, but his camera was destroyed, the bus just came out of nowhere.”
Sharing an update following the incident, he said: “The photographer was taken to hospital and was treated for injuries.

PAY FURY
The Wrestler star could see his fee reduced from £500,000 all the way to £50,000.
A source said: “Mickey didn’t do Celebrity Big Brother for the experience and was counting on that money.
“He’s lost a huge amount by leaving the show early. It was worked out on a pro rata basis.
“Conversations are ongoing so the fee may change but a contract is a contract.”
Despite the fact his fee could be slashed dramatically, Mickey still flew back to the US in first class.
The Sun revealed the actor was keen to make a quick escape back to America.
In our new pictures, Mickey can be seen strolling into the first class lounge at Heathrow with his huge haul of luggage in tow.
He looked like he didn’t have a care in the world as he waved to onlookers before jetting back home.
The Sun also revealed yesterday the Hollywood hellraiser “won’t be back for the final” following his dramatic exit.
AXED FROM BIG BROTHER
Mickey agreed he would leave the Big Brother house after an altercation with fellow housemate Chris Hughes, 32.
The actor squared up to the Love Island star following a misunderstanding during the weekly shopping task.
Mickey was also heard making a s3xual remark to Towie’s Ella Rae Wise, 24.
After being reprimanded by Big Brother, the actor admitted he had been out of line and was sorry.
“I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line,” Mickey admitted.
“Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life.
“I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt.”
Despite his apology, Mickey was still asked to leave the house immediately in scenes that aired on Sunday night.
PARTYING WITH DAVID HAYE
As Celebrity Big Brother airs a day after the action in the house has taken place, Mickey was actually booted out on Saturday.
He spent two nights at a posh hotel in London before flying back to the US on Monday.
The Sun revealed how on Sunday night he was joined for drinks by boxer pal David Haye, 44, and his girlfriend Sian Osborne, 33.
Mickey was seen carrying a small dog as he greeted the duo around 9.30pm.
They left about four hours later, at 1.30am.
