According to TMZ Sports, the Brooklyn-bred entrepreneur repeatedly punched a man who was apparently annoying him on a Florida-bound JetBlue flight at San Francisco International Airport.

A witness told TMZ Sports that around 10:30 a.m. Pacific, a passenger noticed he was sitting behind Tyson and took a selfie with the retired boxer. As Tyson sat down,  the passenger kept trying to talk to Tyson, who asked the man to relax.
Apparently not taking that cue, “The Baddest Man on the Planet” got agitated and showed the annoying passenger why he has had that title for years.
Tyson apparently confronted the passenger, and then left the aircraft and the man with a bloody face. The passenger received medical attention, who reportedly called the police, although there has been no word whether police officials have contacted Tyson or started an investigation.
According to sources close to Tyson, the man he punched was “extremely intoxicated.”

Last month, Tyson stopped what could have been a deadly shooting at a rooftop comedy club ,an act that was caught on video.

According to TMZ Sports, Tyson and several people were enjoying a comedy show when a man approached Tyson’s table in front of the comedian. As the comedian went through his set, the man moved toward Tyson and started talking. According to witnesses, he was challenging Tyson to a fight.

Tyson kept his cool while he engaged with the man, who continued talking. Another man approached the talker and tried to distance him from Tyson, pushing him back in the process. The other man, reportedly the host of t

he show, shoved the talker toward the exit. The talker grew agitated and threatened to shoot the host. Taking a step back, he pulled out a weapon from his waist and pointed it toward the host. People started to scramble.

The man concealed his weapon and Tyson told him to come over. When the guy approached, Tyson extended his hand to the gun-wielding man and gave him a hug, averting a disaster. The man said a couple of words to Tyson, gave him praise, and then headed toward the exit.
