Davis says he “lightly tapped” a flight attendant on the arm asking for a cup of ice for his son, and the man accused Davis of hitting him. That led to six FBI and law enforcement agents putting Davis in handcuffs in front of his family once the plane landed. He was ultimately released after questioning but is “humiliated, embarrassed, powerless and angry” after what happened.

Davis has retained legal representation and vows that United Airlines will be hearing from them.

Obviously, the whole thing was scary for Davis and unfortunate his family had to witness. United Airlines has not released a statement on what happened.

Terrell Davis played running back for the Broncos for seven years from 1995-2002, winning two Super Bowls and an NFL MVP. He is in the Broncos Ring of Fame and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

(Update 2:49 p.m.) –

United Airlines has released the following statement to 9NEWS.

“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. We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter.”
