Here's a tip: if you're on a flight with legendary boxer Mike Tyson, and if you've had too much to drink, don't bother the man.
Wednesday night Tyson apparently started punching a man seated behind him and it was caught on video. The Jetblue flight was headed to Florida from San Francisco International Airport in an incident that occurred after passengers continued to pester the former boxer after he asked them to stop. One witness said while he was friendly to fans asking for a picture, one man--who had a lot to drink--continued to talk in Tyson's ear which apparently annoyed him. Eventually, though,Tyson had enough of the guy behind him talking in his ear ... and told him to chill. When the guy didn't, that's when the witness says Tyson started to throw several punches at the man's face.
TMZ reported that the man who was punched received medical attention and went to the police following the incident. The San Francisco Airport Police and Jet Blue Airlines did not immediately respond.
Here are some various media reports about this including a comment from the president of the flight attendants' union....
