No Charges Against Mike Tyson For Punching Airplane Passenger

Tyson — the former heavyweight boxing champion — was recorded on video last month punching a plane passenger prior to departure.

Authorities will not file criminal charges against former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video punching a fellow first-class passenger aboard a plane at San Francisco International Airport last month, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said it has closed the case and decided against pursuing charges based on “the circumstances surrounding the confrontation.”

Police previously said that the victim had provided few details about the altercation and refused to cooperate with the investigation.
