Zayn Malik Leaves LAX on Crutches

Zayn Malik makes his way through LAX airport with a little help from a pair of crutches in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon (September 8).

The 19-year-old One Direction singer relieved some pain from one of his ankles while heading to security for a departing flight.

Joined by band mate Niall Horan, the two spent some time with pal Justin Bieber after taking home three moonmen awards from the 2012 MTV VMAs.

“chillin with the homies,” Justin tweeted of the guys night in with a few pics of the group.
