Mike Tyson will not face charges for punching plane passenger, DA says

Mike Tyson will not face charges stemming from his altercation with a passenger on a JetBlue flight last month, a California district attorney announced on Tuesday.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe reviewed police reports and videos of the incident that occurred on a flight from San Francisco International Airport to Florida on April 20. In a TMZ video that went viral, the former heavyweight champion is seen standing in front of a seat and punching a passenger near the window.

The passenger has not been identified. Both he and Tyson, 55, requested no charges be filed.
