David Beckham has been pictured with a large bandage on his right arm while taking his children to a departing flight at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday afternoon, Aug. 31, after he lost control of his motorcycle earlier that day in the middle of Los Angeles' famous Sunset Strip while being followed by paparazzi.
The 39-year-old football player-turned-model was leaving the famous Shamrock Tattoo in West Hollywood when he lost control of his custom-built Super Vintage 93" Knuckle and tumbled off in the middle of the street, TMZ reported.
Sources told the celebrity gossip website that Victoria Beckham's husband went back to the tattoo parlor and asked a few friends to help him roll his big bike back to the establishment.
The father of four was not severely injured in the accident, with one source telling E! News Friday, "David is OK."
Beckham had been followed by paparazzi before the mishap took place, the source added. He then lost control of his motorcycle while attempting to avoid hitting another vehicle that had abruptly swerved towards him while photographers took photos of him.
Later than afternoon, Beckham was photographed with his right arm in a bandage while carrying her three-year-old daughter Harper and as sons Romeo, 11, and Cruz, nine, followed closely behind at the Los Angeles International Airport, Daily Mail reported.
Beckham is an avid bike enthusiast, and he recently opened up about his passion for it in his 90-minute BBC documentary "Into the Unknown," in which he and three of his friends ride motorbikes across the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
"I retired 12 months ago and my whole life, my whole career has been about having a particular schedule that I've always kept to, so we just wanted to be able to jump on the bikes and do what we wanted, wherever we wanted," Beckham told former Monty Python comedian and adventurer Michael Palin, according to Daily Mail.
"I wanted to do something that we would all enjoy - I'm a big motorbike rider and so are two of my three friends that came with me on this trip. It was the kind of journey that had no schedule," he added.
The said documentary was aired on Showtime in the US.
