Man 'beaten up by Mike Tyson refuses to press charges' as rap icon Ice T says 'MF's think they won't get punched'
THE plane passenger punched by Mike Tyson will not press charges as ICE T became the latest to weigh in on the incident.
Tyson allegedly unleashed a flurry of punches and bloodied a fellow air passenger after they reportedly threw a bottle at him.
According to TMZ, Tyson got into it with an “overly excited” fan who sat behind him and kept talking “in his ear” after the American heavyweight asked him to “chill”.
The incident took place before a flight scheduled to leave San Francisco International Airport for Florida at 10:30pm local time.
Police then confirmed to ESPN that they were called to the incident in San Francisco after 10pm when the plane prepared for take-off.
They spoke to two men, who were unidentified but both were released.

Several were quick to defend Tyson, who returned to the ring in 2020 for a boxing exhibition, including rapper ICE T.
