According to a fellow passenger and witness to the incident, Tyson did not appear angry at first. Things took a turn for the worse after Tyson took a selfie with the man. Following the photo, the man allegedly continued to try to speak with Tyson.
Tyson became visibly agitated and told the man to stop trying to talk to him. The person did not, and witnesses claim Tyson became physical as a result.
Witnesses claim Tyson walked off the plane after punching the man several times in the face.
