Conversation with Parker Stinar, attorney for Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis.

DENVER (AP) — Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis says he was “humiliated” after being unjustly handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight over the weekend.

Davis said Monday on Instagram that he had tapped a flight attendant on the arm prompting the employee to shout “don’t hit me” and hurry toward the front of the plane.

Davis says when the flight landed, law-enforcement boarded, put Davis in handcuffs and removed him from the flight.

Law enforcement later apologized and released Davis. United Airlines said it has removed the flight attendant from duty while the incident is being reviewed.
