Former Denver Broncos Super Bowl champion running back, Terrell Davis, revealed that he faced a traumatizing experience over the weekend as he was removed from a United airlines flight in handcuffs.

In a statement on his Instagram, he shared his account of what he called a “humiliating, disturbing and traumatizing incident” in front of his family on a flight Saturday.

He added that his son had politely requested a cup of ice and that the flight attendant “either didn’t hear or ignored his request” which lead to him lightly tapping his arm to get his attention which resulted in the flight attendant shouting “dont hit me” and rushing to the front of the plane.

He then says that after landing in their arrival location of Orange County, 6 FBI and law enforcement agents boarded the plane and placed him in handcuffs with no explanation, all in front of his family.

Terrell ended his statement saying that he refuses “to stand by without speaking out on this disgusting display of injustice and deplorable treatment by United Airlines” and that his legal team would be reaching out to United Airlines.
