Video footage appears to show Mike Tyson hitting a reportedly intoxicated passenger during an airplane ride Wednesday.

The turbulence occurred during a late-night flight from San Francisco International Airport to Florida, according to TMZ Sports.

The tabloid website reported that a source close to Tyson claimed the passenger was drunk and had been badgering the former heavyweight world boxing champion, despite the 55-year-old's plea for the man to stop.

Initially, Tyson apparently took a selfie with the passenger before allegedly showing patience as the man kept talking to him from the seat behind, and gestured close to his head.

Tyson asked the man to stop, TMZ said in its report, but when the passenger continued, Tyson got out of his seat and started throwing punches.

The bloodied passenger can be seen looking sad in the clip.

Watch it right here:

TMZ Sports said the passenger received medical attention.

It added that San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to the incident but after one person received medical attention, they "provided minimal details … and refused to cooperate."

Tyson is used to excitable people.

Last month, the former champion responded far cooler to a man who brandished a gun near him.

Tyson seemed unfazed at the ordeal, waved the gunman to him, and even offered him a hug.

Nobody was injured, and the gunman left the scene.
