- 10 years ago
Boxing champ Mike Tyson became a good samaritan last week when he helped a motorcyclist who crashed on a Las Vegas interstate.
The former world heavyweight champion who has had several run-ins with the law, stayed with the motorcyclist until ambulances arrived.
SOUNDBITE: XIOMARA TEJADA, CRASH WITNESS, SAYING:
"He made him calmer because he was Mike Tyson. You know, so he was like the motorcyclist was on the floor like 'Oh I know that I'm hurt but can I get a selfie with you, can I get a picture."
The motorcyclist sent Tyson a fruit basket and a note thanking him saying it was good to have the boxer in his corner.
