A California District Attorney declined to file charges against legendary boxer Mike Tyson after he was caught on video allegedly punching a passenger on a flight out of San Francisco.

"We now deem the case closed," DA Steve Wagstaffe said Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat," a representative for Tyson told Fox Business in a statement at the time.

"After a thorough investigation, no charges will be filed against Mr. Tyson for the incident at San Francisco International Airport on April 20, 2022," Tyson's legal team told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We thank San Francisco District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe, the San Mateo County Sheriff, and all law enforcement agencies involved in this investigation for their careful, diligent, and professional work."

Should have charged the drunken agitator with assault, but I think moving on is the right thing here.

It isn’t Tyson’s fault that the dumb man kept ramming his face into Tyson’s fist. ;-)

If the other guy started it then it could be argued that Tyson shouldn't be charged with anything.

I agree. That idiot was “cruisin for a bruisin” as my Grandpa would say. He was taunting Tyson and surprise, surprise. Wrong person to taunt.

> began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,

I hadn’t heard that the other guy attacked first. Changes my view 180 degrees.

Agree. Justifiable minimum ass kicking by Tyson.

This guy probably provoked Tyson so Tyson would hit him and then it’s the lawsuit lottery win.

Just because it’s on multiple videos doesn’t mean that it happened.

Like the Moon landings.

The guy that threw the water bottle should be arrested for committing extreme stupidity.

"after he was caught on video allegedly punching a passenger"

That's kind of a strange way of putting it. If he is caught on video, how can it be "alleged"?
