Video Of Broncos Legend Terrell Davis’ United Airlines Arrest Goes Viral

Denver Broncos great Terrell Davis says he felt he was “treated like a convict” when he was placed in handcuffs and escorted off a United Airlines flight last week, and now he has proof.

A video was released on Tuesday by Davis’ attorney showing the Hall of Fame running back being removed from a flight by FBI agents after a misunderstanding between Davis and a flight attendant.

The 36-second video clip shows several passengers confused as to what’s going on while Davis’ wife Tamiko speaks with the arresting officers before Davis is ultimately placed under arrest.

“This video confirms the harrowing tale of multiple law enforcement agents, including the FBI, boarding the plane and apprehending a shocked, terrified, humiliated, and compliant Mr. Davis in front of his wife, Tamiko, minor children, and more than one hundred passengers,” Davis' attorney Parker Stinar told TMZ Sports . “The rationale behind the United Airlines employee's deceitful or inaccurate report extends far beyond a mere ice request or innocent tap on the shoulder.”

Stinar confirmed that Davis and his family are forging ahead with a lawsuit against United Airlines in hopes of exposing “systemic shortcomings that culminated in this traumatic incident, causing irreparable harm and enduring suffering for the Davis family.”

The incident stemmed from an interaction between Davis and a United flight attendant when the former asked for a cup of ice for his son. The flight attendant reportedly responded by shouting “don’t hit me” at Davis and racing to the front of the plane, where it’s believed he informed authorities to remove Davis from the flight once it landed.

In an interview with CNN days ago, Davis stated he didn’t believe things would have played out the way they did if he were white.

United announced that the flight attendant in question has been removed from duty while it conducts an investigation into the matter.
