“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,” the rep said to ET.
According to TMZ, Mike Tyson physically confronted a passenger shortly after boarding a JetBlue flight Wednesday night (April 20) in San Francisco, Calif.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Dept. also told ET that officers were dispatched to a physical altercation onboard an airplane, and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident.
One person, who provided “minimal details” and refused to cooperate further, was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. Both were released pending further investigation. Authorities did not release their names.
