NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Mike Tyson is accused of assaulting a fellow passenger on a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday night, TMZ reports.
The man seated behind the 55-year-old former heavyweight boxing champion reportedly irritated him, which allegedly led to the attack.
According to a witness who recorded the exchange, the Brooklyn-born Tyson was initially fine with his friend, even agreeing to take a selfie with him.
However, Tyson reportedly got annoyed by his friend and asked him to leave him alone. Sources told TMZ the man was allegedly "extremely intoxicated" and would not stop "provoking" Tyson.
Eventually, Tyson is seen repeatedly punching the unidentified man who was left with visible cuts to his head.
"My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson," the witness recording the video said. "He got f***** up."
The witness told TMZ that Tyson then exited the plane seconds later. The victim reportedly received medical attention and went to police over the beating.
At this time, JetBlue, Tyson's representatives and police have not responded to TMZ's request for comment.
