NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis says he was handcuffed and removed from flight

NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis says he was handcuffed and removed from a flight headed to California following an accusation by a flight attendant Saturday.

NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis says he was handcuffed and removed from a flight headed to California following an accusation by a flight attendant Saturday. 

“I am still in shock over the traumatizing events that occurred Saturday aboard a United flight from Denver to Orange County with my wife, two sons, and daughter,” Davis, the former Denver Broncos running back, said on social media. 

Davis, who played for the Broncos from 1995 to 2001 and helped them win two Super Bowls, said the incident happened after his son requested a cup of ice during the beverage part of the trip. 

“The flight attendant either didn’t hear or ignored his request and continued past our row,” Davis said. “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. His response and the events that followed should stun all of us."

“He shouted ‘don’t hit me’ and left the cart to hurriedly approach the front of the plane. I was confused, as were the passengers in front of me who witnessed the exchange," Davis continued. "I thought nothing of it other than this particular employee was incredibly rude and blatantly wrong in his accusations of me hitting him. I did not see or interact with him further for the duration of the flight.”
