SAN FRANCISCO, CA -(77WABC)- Mike Tyson is seen on video repeatedly punching another passenger onboard a plane at San Francisco International Airport. According to TMZ Sports, the incident erupted after a passenger took a selfie with Tyson Wednesday night onboard a Jet Blue flight headed to Florida.
Tyson reportedly took the picture with a man sitting behind him, but that man’s friend apparently annoyed Tyson by continuing to talk to him.
Sources say the man was extremely intoxicated, and that Tyson reportedly told him to calm down.
A spokesperson for the former heavyweight boxing champ said the passenger threw a water bottle at Tyson while he was in his seat. The man Tyson punched was bloodied and received medical treatment.
