Mike Tyson's alleged victim declines to press charges after being beaten on plane

The man beaten by Mike Tyson on a plane on Wednesday night declined to press charges following the incident.

Video footage obtained by TMZ emerged yesterday which showed an altercation between heavyweight boxing legend Tyson and an unnamed fellow passenger. Through a spokesperson, Tyson later claimed he had had a bottle of water thrown at him by the man who had earlier asked for a selfie.

Police confirmed to ESPN that they were called to the incident in San Francisco a little after 10pm as the plane prepared for take-off. They spoke to two men, neither of whom they identified, before both were released. "That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation," an officer said.
