Video shows NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis getting escorted off a United Airlines flight by an FBI agent after a flight attendant accused Davis of hitting him.
NFL legend Terrell Davis was taken off a United Airlines flight by the FBI on July 13. The Denver Broncos Hall of Famer was handcuffed after he said he tried to get a flight attendant's attention when his son was not heard asking for a cup of ice. 'I calmly reached behind me and lightly tapped his arm to get his attention to again ask for a cup of ice for my son,' Davis said.
Davis said the flight attendant shouted, 'Don’t hit me!' and he was later taken away in handcuffs when the flight landed. The video does not show the initial interaction, but rather, an FBI agent speaking with Davis, who eventually gets up out of his seat. The same agent places his right hand on Davis' right shoulder-blade, after giving a tablet to a woman, while they walk off the plane together. It's unclear whether Davis is handcuffed in the video.
They were busy playing with the iPad so they didn’t respond. And I remember the tone got a little bit more aggressive. And I was like ‘Man, that was kind of rude for him to ask my kids like that.’' Davis said in his statement on Monday that law enforcement determined the flight attendant’s retelling of the events was 'inaccurate' and they 'profusely apologized.
felt demoralized. I felt embarrassed, humiliated. I felt like my dignity was stripped from me right in front of my children and my family,' he said. 'I want United to be held accountable.'
