Terrell Davis Wrongfully Handcuffed On United Airlines Flight

The former Denver Broncos running back was flying with his wife and three children when one of his sons asked for a cup of ice.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis reported he was wrongfully detained on a United Airlines flight Saturday.

The former Denver Broncos running back was flying with his wife and three children when one of his sons asked for a cup of ice.

It was said Davis tapped a flight attendant’s arm to request the cup of ice which prompted the attendant to scream “don’t hit me.”

The incident led to Davis being put in handcuffs. Authorities released him after they determined the attendant made inaccurate accusations stemming from their interaction.

Davis said the incident left him feeling “humiliated, embarrassed, powerless and angry.” He is now calling for a “thorough and proper investigation.”

Davis said he refuses to stand by without speaking out on the “disgusting display of injustice and deplorable treatment.”

United Airlines has removed the flight attendant from duty and apologized to Davis and his family.
