What did Melvin Townsend III do to Mike Tyson?
On the plane, Mike Tyson hit Melvin Townsend in the face, injuring him. Despite Tyson’s repeated requests for him to calm down, he remained a staunch fan who continued to speak in his ear. According to witnesses, Tyson was first unconcerned about all of his followers on the plane asking for photos. He gave his consent and even posed for photos with them. Melvin Townsend, who sat behind Tyson in the row, was smitten with him. The boxer was patient at first, but as Melvin Townsend irritated him, he became enraged and punched him multiple times. Melvin Townsend was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, and police were called.
Witnesses allege Tyson fled the plane seconds after punching the victim, according to a video obtained by an online news website. Two anonymous passengers were taken off the plane by San Francisco officers, who also handed over a video of the incident to San Mateo County cops.
