Mike Tyson repeatedly punches man on plane, bloodies passenger's face

https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/21/mike-tyson-repeatedly-punches-man-face-plane-bloodies-passenger/?adid=social-twa

UPDATE 7:28 AM PT -- Sources close to Mike claim the man was extremely intoxicated ... and wouldn't stop provoking the boxer in his seat.

Mike Tyson seemed to lose his cool on a plane on Wednesday night ... repeatedly punching a man in the face after the guy had apparently annoyed him.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the incident all went down at around 10:30 PM PT as Tyson was slated to fly out of San Francisco International Airport to Florida.

A witness on the plane says as he and his friend were boarding Tyson's flight ... the boxing legend was initially cool with them and the other passengers.

No tolerance, no patience, no humanity. I think these last two, hell, 6 years have just put us on our worst behavior as humans. I’m so ashamed…….. It’s just gotten so bad.

What a FUCKING IDIOT.
FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT.

REALLY. A celebrity on your plane and you can't ignore them? Can't be civil toward them?

We don’t know the full story, but Mike Tyson is a full grown man, it’s his duty to keep control of himself. There’s no excuse to assault someone on a plane. I hope Tyson is arrested and then sued.

Seems a lotta people talk crap these days just to provoke someone else, and when they're drunk it becomes even more noxious.

I've found it's usually best to just respond: "sound serious, good luck!" as it gives the less-than-well-meaning the impression they've scored the point they're so desperately searching for, and life goes on within us and without us.

He was actually really nice. But then I just said hi and then left him alone afterwards. He also seemed heavily medicated.
