Mike Tyson breaks silence about THAT JetBlue flight fight
In the video, Tyson could be seen sitting in his first-class seat as Townsend appeared to attempt to talk to him.
'What am I going to do on a f*****g plane with my friends and [a bodyguard] he's supposed to watch me?' he asked co-host DJ Whoo Kid and his podcast guests Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.
Video of the incident shows Tyson punching Townsend before the JetBlue flight had taken off from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale, leaving the Florida man with a bloody forehead. Another video from the flight shows the aftermath of the incident, with Townsend sporting traces of blood on his forehead. 'At a certain point, Mr. Tyson clearly became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him in an excessive manner,' he continued. 'This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting the flight attendant. Our client denies throwing a water bottle prior to being struck by Mr. Tyson.'
'Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation. Both subjects were released under 849 of the California Penal Code pending further investigation.
