TMZ posted a video that purported to show Tyson
punching the passenger, who was seated behind him and previously
was seen trying to get Tyson's attention. The other man was
shown subsequently in the video with bloody cuts on his head.
Tyson's spokesperson told ESPN, "Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an
incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began
harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in
his seat."
San Francisco Police told ESPN that "officers were dispatched to
a physical altercation on board an airplane" on Wednesday night,
with two subjects detailed and then released. One of the two
people sustained injuries but "provided minimal details of the
incident and refused to cooperate further with the police
investigation."
Tyson eventually traveled to Miami, where he was photographed on
Thursday in a nightclub with former wrestling star Ric Flair,
who tweeted the picture.
