Mike Tyson won’t face prices in altercation with JetBlue passenger, district attorney says

A California district lawyer declined to file prices Tuesday against former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video in a bodily altercation with one other passenger on a JetBlue flight.

San Mateo County District Lawyer Steve Wagstaffe made the decision after having reviewed police reviews and videos of the April 20 incident. Each the passenger, who has not been recognized, and Tyson requested that no charges be filed.

"Yesterday afternoon the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Workplace concluded its review of the case involving Mike Tyson on the San Francisco Airport on April 20, 2022 and the allegation that he committed a misdemeanor battery against another passenger on an airplane while ready on the terminal previous to departure," Wagstaffe said in an announcement.

"Our decision is that we are going to not file any costs towards Mr. Tyson based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These embrace the conduct of the sufferer main as much as the incident, the interaction between Mr. Tyson and the sufferer, as well as the requests of each the sufferer and Mr. Tyson that no expenses be filed on this case," Wagstaffe said.

The case is now closed.

Cellphone video confirmed Tyson, 55, showing to attempt to punch someone who was pushing him away. Representatives for Tyson stated the person was harassing Tyson. The video did not present what occurred before the altercation.

David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Martin Sabelli, attorneys for Tyson, responded to the choice to not file charges by thanking Wagstaffe, the San Mateo County sheriff and regulation enforcement agencies "for his or her careful, diligent, and professional work."
