Mike Tyson responded after his plane fight went viral.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson experienced an incident on board a flight where an aggressive passenger began harassing and throwing water bottles at him while he was in his seat,” a representative for Tyson told TMZ.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department told ESPN that “deputies were dispatched to an actual assembly point on the plane” at San Francisco International Airport.
Police said two subjects were detained and released. One person was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.
“The subject provided minimal details about the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation,” the officer said.
Witnesses claim that fans were excited to have Tyson in front of them. But he was too chatty and Mike asked him to be quiet. The man continued to say, “Tyson is said to have gotten up, turned around and hurled multiple punches to the man’s face and forehead.
