On a flight from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday night, Mike Tyson was observed repeatedly hitting a fellow passenger, leaving the victim with a bleeding forehead.
TMZ received cell phone footage of the former heavyweight champion hitting a supposedly too enthusiastic fan sat immediately behind him.
According to TMZ, that man had a friendly discussion with Tyson at first. According to a witness, the man and a companion greeted Tyson, the 55-year-old boxing legend, as they boarded the plane and even had their picture taken with him.
Tyson apparently grew tired of the fan’s antics and urged him to be quiet.
Tyson stepped up, turned around, and landed multiple blows to the man’s face and forehead while he continued to speak.
‘Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Mike, come on, stop that,’ a witness is heard saying on the cell phone footage.
Another video from the aircraft shows the aftermath of the incident, with the man’s forehead covered in blood.
The victim apparently sought medical assistance and reported the event to the authorities, but no word on whether Tyson is being probed.
