Former heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson punched a fellow passenger on an airplane after the person allegedly threw a water bottle at him.

Video footage was taken that shows Tyson leaning over his seat and repeatedly punching an unidentified man.

A spokesperson for Tyson confirmed he had an “incident with an aggressive passenger” who was “harassing him”.

Police were dispatched and temporarily detained two individuals.

One person was treated at San Francisco International Airport for non-life-threatening injuries. That person refused to cooperate further with the police investigation and did not offer details about the incident.

Both people were released “pending further investigation.” The department did not identify either of the individuals involved.

The attack occurred on board a JetBlue flight on Wednesday night before it set off from San Francisco to Florida.

Allegedly Tyson told the passenger he would take a picture with him and never did. The man continued to harass Tyson until he exploded.

The video footage shows Tyson striking the man multiple times until the passenger’s forehead is seen bloody.

The San Francisco Police Department said it was “aware of video that possibly captured the incident”.

The footage was sent to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office which has jurisdiction over the investigation.
