Man Repeatedly Punched by Mike Tyson on Plane Demands $450,000 in ‘Shakedown’ Payment: Lawyer

Mike Tyson repeatedly punched Melvin Townsend III on a JetBlue flight scheduled to take off from San Francisco last year.

Townsend was reportedly intoxicated and wouldn’t stop taunting and provoking Mike Tyson.

According to TMZ, Townsend threw a water bottle at Mike Tyson before the boxer pummeled him.

After asking Townsend to ‘chill,’ Tyson, 55, lost his cool and began punching the man in the face.
