Racist Cop Assaults Mike Tyson’s Wife—Tyson Steps In, Chaos Ensues
A shocking incident unfolded in downtown Las Vegas last night when a police officer allegedly assaulted Lakiha Spicer Tyson, the wife of boxing legend Mike Tyson. The altercation, which quickly escalated, ended with Tyson intervening to protect his wife, resulting in the officer being hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
A Routine Evening Turns Violent
According to witnesses, the Tysons were leaving a restaurant when Officer Derek Collins stopped them for what was described as a “routine check.” Bystanders report that Officer Collins appeared agitated and began making racially charged remarks toward the couple. When Lakiha protested, the officer allegedly grabbed her by the neck, attempting to restrain her.
“It was horrifying,” said one witness. “He just lunged at her. She was scared and screaming for help.”
Mike Tyson Steps In
Seeing his wife in distress, Mike Tyson immediately intervened. According to multiple eyewitness accounts and cellphone footage circulating online, Tyson shouted for the officer to release his wife. When Collins refused and continued to use force, Tyson acted instinctively, pulling the officer away from Lakiha and defending himself and his wife.
In the ensuing struggle, Tyson reportedly delivered a single, powerful punch, knocking the officer to the ground. Other officers quickly arrived and separated the parties.
Aftermath and Public Reaction
Officer Collins was taken to a local hospital with a concussion and a fractured jaw. He is expected to recover. Lakiha Tyson was treated for minor bruises and released.
The Las Vegas Police Department has placed Officer Collins on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. In a statement, the department said, “We take allegations of excessive force and misconduct extremely seriously. The incident will be thoroughly reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken.”
Mike Tyson Speaks Out
Mike Tyson released a brief statement: “My wife was attacked and I did what any husband would do—protect her. We respect law enforcement, but there is no place for racism or brutality. We trust the system to investigate what happened.”
