tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

The two left-leaning accounts say a tourist accused Paxton of lunging for or trying to take his phone after filming him in London; one says the tourist reported the incident to police and was not injured.

Left-leaning outlets frame the London encounter through the tourist’s allegation of an escalation. Center outlets focus on a separate campaign typo and ensuing ridicule, while right-leaning outlets present Paxton’s response to a rival’s criticism about racism as a forceful rebuttal.
