In the Summer of 1988, yours truly was working the steady midnight shift in a patrol car in the 28th Pct. in good 'ole Harlem.

One night, in the early AM hours, we got a call about a disturbance on 125th St and Madison Ave. I pull up just in time to see two SCARY, HUGE sob's being pulled apart (I should say the mob was TRYING) by about a zillion people. Someone in the crowd said "Hey that is Mike Tyson and Mitch Green goin at it!" Someone else said "Officer can't you break them up?" I looked at the guy like he was on crack (which he may have been), then hid in my patrol car with the doors locked until the calvary arrived.

About a month later, we had to taser (stun gun) Mitch Green 'cuz he smoked PCP and freaked out. If you don't remember Mitch, he was HUGE with hands so big they looked like giant hams on the end of his arms to me. Dumb as a rock too. Trust me, lol, it is an understatement to say he was SCARY. Mitch "Blood" Green on angel dust......god I sure do miss the NYPD!

I also knew the cops who stopped Mike in a luxury car in lower Manhatten. Tyson said "this car been giving me nuthin but problems, here you guys take it" and he handed them the keys. They took the rest of the tour off and drove the car to NJ. Of course, word got out and they had to give the car back.....
