The former NFL player says the “traumatizing experience” took place when the plane landed on Saturday. He says six FBI and other law enforcement agents boarded the plane and placed him in handcuffs.
Former NFL player Terrell Davis said Monday, July 15, 2024, he was “humiliated" after being handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight, then later apologized to by law enforcement, over the weekend. Here, Davis delivers his speech during induction ceremonies at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2017, in Canton, Ohio.
During the exchange, Davis alleges the flight attendant — who has not been publicly identified — shouted, “Don't hit me,” and left the beverage cart to “hurriedly approach the front of the plane.” Davis says that he recalled both himself and other passengers onboard being “confused” after witnessing the reaction from the flight attendant.
In an email to NPR, the FBI confirmed that agents and local law enforcement officers at the John Wayne Airport responded to a report regarding “an incident that occurred aboard a flight” that required “further investigation.” "This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide, and we have reached out to Mr. Davis’s team to apologize," the airline said in a statement.
