BOXING legend Mike Tyson won’t face any criminal charges for his scrap with an airline passenger due to the “conduct of the victim”.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion repeatedly punched Melvin George Townsend III on a JetBlue flight last month.
Footage shot by a fellow passenger showed Tyson laying into the Townsend, who was left battered and bruised.
Video, however, captured before the incident showed Townsend – who allegedly threw a bottle at Tyson – repeatedly goading the retired boxer.
And San Mateo County District Attorney has taken Townsends’ actions before the melee into account and opted not to bring any charges against Iron Mike.
