Witnesses claim that the fan had spoken with Tyson in a cordial manner when boarding the plane, but the video evidence suggests that the passenger proceeded to bother and harass Tyson, eventually making him lose his cool and leading to the victim receiving a beating from the world-famous boxer.
“My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson,’ stated the man shooting the video. “Yeah, he got f***ed up.”
The victim reportedly received medical attention after the incident, as he sported a bleeding forehead as seen in the footage, and reported the beating to the police.
According to TMZ, on Tuesday, May, 10, San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen M. Wagstaffe announced that Mike Tyson will not be facing charges over the incident.
