Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will not face any charges in connection with a flurry of punches thrown at an unruly passenger on a Jet Blue flight.
SAN MATEO -- Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will not face any charges in connection with a flurry of punches thrown at an unruly passenger seated behind him on a plane at San Francisco International Airport.
The incident happened at around 10:30 p.m. on April 20 as a JetBlue plane was set to fly out of SFO headed for Florida. The video shows Tyson leaning over the back of his seat and repeatedly punching the passenger in the head. The report also showed photos of a man gesturing toward Tyson in the aisle in front of him and another showing the man with a bloodied forehead."Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat," representatives for Tyson said in an email to The Associated Press.
Since the 55-year-old Tyson retired from boxing, he has worked as an actor, podcaster and cannabis entrepreneur. He was in San Francisco for the annual 420 cannabis festival in Golden Gate Park, where he was promoting his cannabis brand Tyson 2.0.
