Mike Tyson will not face charges stemming from an incident on a plane caught on video.
The San Mateo County District Attorney's office says that is has decided not to file any charges against the former heavyweight champion of the world ''based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation.'' Those circumstances include ''the conduct of the victim leading up to the incident, the interaction between Mr. Tyson and the victim, as well as the requests of both victim and Mr. Tyson that no charges be filled in this case.''
This all stemmed from an April 20 incident after Tyson boarded a JetBlue flight in San Francisco bound for Florida. TMZ posted two videos of the alleged incident, which purportedly shortly after boarding the plane.
The outlet reported that, initially, Tyson took a selfie with the person sitting behind him but the man in question was overly excited and things allegedly took a turn for the worse when the boxing legend get fed up, leading to the physical confrontation. Mike Tyson loses his cool,
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Dept. says, officers assigned to its airport bureau were dispatched to a physical altercation onboard an airplane. The spokesperson said that when authorities arrived, officers detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident.
One subject was treated as the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject, the spokesperson said, provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the investigation. Both subjects were released pending further investigation. Authorities did not released the name of the two subjects detained.
The SFPD said it was aware of video that possibly captured the incident, which surfaced following the initial investigation. That video was forwarded to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
The D.A's Office said it reviewed the police reports and video, but it now considers this case closed.
