Mike Tyson has been a trending topic since video surfaced on him punching down a fellow passenger on a JetBlue flight on Thursday. In video of the encounter, the man, who TMZ has identified as Melvin Townsend III, sits behind Tyson on the flight and is captured on video by another passenger continually heckling the fighter. Tyson ignores the man’s antics for some time before eventually lashing out and swinging on the guy, who sustained bruises to his face.
According to TMZ, Townsend has lawyered up, with his attorney calling the actions of his client nothing more than that of an “overly excited fan.” Tyson’s team reportedly said Tyson was set off after Townsend threw a bottle at him.
