Mike Tyson Won’t Face Charges For Airplane Altercation

Weeks after a video surfaced of Mike Tyson repeatedly punching another passenger on a plane, the former heavyweight boxing champion will reportedly not face charges after all parties involved declined to file any.

The video obtained by TMZ Sports shows Tyson punching the person seated behind him on the flight, which was preparing to head for Florida. The incident occurred at San Francisco International Airport on April 20 at 10:30 p.m. PT.

A witness who is friends with the person Tyson punched told TMZ Sports that at first, Tyson was cordial with the passengers, even taking a selfie with the person. The boxing star eventually told the person to leave him alone, but when he did not heed the warning, the witness told TMZ Sports that Tyson allegedly started punching his friend repeatedly.
