Mike Tyson was seen repeatedly a punching a fellow passenger on a flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday night, leaving the man with a bloodied forehead.
Cell phone footage, obtained by TMZ, shows the former heavyweight champion smacking an allegedly over-eager fan in the seat directly behind him.
That man initially had a cordial exchange with Tyson, according to TMZ. A witness says the man and a friend greeted the 55-year-old boxing legend as they boarded the plane, and even got their picture taken with Tyson.
Tyson soon grew tired of engaging with the man and reportedly asked him to be quiet.
When the man continued talking, Tyson then threw several punches to the man’s face.
‘Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Mike, come on, stop that,’ a man is heard saying on the cell phone footage.
Another video from the flight shows the aftermath of the incident, with the man sporting traces of blood on his forehead.
‘My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson,’ said the man shooting the video. ‘Yeah, he got f***ed up.’
The victim reportedly received medical attention and went to the police over the incident, but there has been no word yet of Tyson is being investigated over the incident.
DailyMail.com has reached out to spokespeople for Tyson and JetBlue but has yet to receive a response from either.
The incident took place after Tyson shared a bizarre theory while high on marijuana during a recent podcast.
On Friday’s installment of The Joe Rogan Experience, a stoned Tyson said he ‘really believes’ that the rich abduct vagrants to chase them on large private estates, unbeknownst to the uninitiated 99 percent.
After the pair smoked weed – appearing to light up two separate joints while sitting across from each other at Rogan’s podcasting table – Tyson told Rogan that ‘whatever you think a human did to another human being – it happened. Whatever it is, it happened.’
‘Somewhere in history?’ Rogan asked.
‘Yeah, and sometimes these special camps and stuff it happens,’ Tyson continued. ‘These people own these thousands of acres and nothing grows on ’em.’
‘Right, weird ranches where people do rituals and s***,’ Rogan encouraged.
‘Might want to hunt a motherf*****,’ Tyson said.
‘That’s not outside the realm of possibility!’ Rogan replied, shocked.
‘I know, that’s why I’m throwing it at you,’ Tyson said.
‘I guarantee you there’s been someone, somewhere in the world who paid someone to hunt a person,’ Rogan said. ‘I guarantee you that’s happened!’
