A video posted on celebrity news website TMZ of the incident shows the Grammy-winning rapper glaring at photographers as he leaves the airport.
West confronts one of the photographers and generally seems to lunge at him.
Mateljan stated that West, 36, also attempted to take equipment from the photographer.
Each misdemeanour charge has a maximum penalty of 6 months in prison.
West is scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles on October 10. The rapper's representative did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday.
West has become a frequent target of paparazzi after striking up a romance a year ago with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named North West, in June.
