Ex-Bronco Terrell Davis says he was handcuffed, removed from United flight

Former Denver Broncos star Terrell Davis says he was unjustly handcuffed by federal agents after lightly tapping on a flight attendant’s arm during a United Airlines flight over the weekend.

In a Monday morning post on Instagram, Davis wrote that he was flying from Denver to Orange County, California, on Saturday with his wife and three children.

During the beverage service, Davis said his son politely requested a cup of ice. The attendant didn’t hear him, so Davis said he calmly tapped the attendant on the arm to get his attention.

The United staffer shouted, “Don’t hit me!” according to Davis’ post, and left hurriedly to the front of the plane.

When the flight landed, Davis said the pilot asked the passengers to remain seated as “six FBI and law enforcement agents” boarded the plane and placed the former running back in handcuffs. He was then removed from the aircraft.

“I was — and remain — humiliated, embarrassed, powerless and angry,” Davis wrote.
