Mike Tyson no criminal charges will be brought in connection with the notorious incident in which he was involved in April on board the aircraft. This was announced by the San Mateo County District Attorney, California, in an interview with TMZ.

"Iron" Mike repeatedly slapped another passenger in the face who had previously molested and provoked him, which was seen on amateur video, and, according to the former heavyweight champion, threw a bottle of water at him, which, however, was denied other passengers.

The victim presented his version of events. His lawyer argued that the victim had no bad intentions and that her behavior was due only to excessive excitement from meeting face to face with the boxing legend.
