Mike Tyson Guy Pulls Gun ... After Trying to Fight at Comedy Show

If you thought Mike Tyson was a badass before, wait until you see how he handled himself when a guy pulled a gun within 15 feet of him -- let's just say you can call him Cool Hand Luke.
TMZ obtained this insane video of what we're told was a small comedy show Tuesday night on a rooftop bar in Hollywood, and MT was in attendance with a few friends.
At first you see Mike seated calmly at his front row table taking in the show -- but the whole thing was interrupted by a random guy who approached Mike and co. and attempted to chat him up, disrupting a comedian's set and everyone's good time.
While you can't hear exactly what was being said in the footage, eyewitnesses tell us the man was actually challenging Mike to a fight -- suggesting he wanted to elevate his "status."
Mike, of course, kept it chill and didn't engage with the man ... mostly just letting him talk. Eventually, though, another man intervenes and tells the dude to scram. We're told this was actually the host/MC of the night.
That pissed off the guy challenging Mike ... who threatened to shoot the host, and then pulled out a gun from his waistband and cocked it in front of everyone. Naturally, everyone gasped and started ducking under tables.
Luckily, he never fired, put the gun away and almost immediately regretted it. He once again approached Mike, and asked him not to call the cops. Once again, Mike just sat there in relative silence, heard the guy out and in the end, embraced him.
Mike actually hugged the man, at which point he finally left without further incident. We're told people started to trickle out after that with some trepidation -- not knowing if the dude was lurking somewhere down below in the streets. After a bit of time, Mike departed too.
We checked with the authorities ... LAPD says they were never called. As for Tyson? Yeah, he did his best Paul Newman impression. Ice cold, Iron Mike.

Ex-NFL running back Mark Walton has been arrested again ... after cops say he helped rob a person at gunpoint in February.
According to police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, cops say Walton and another person pulled a gun on someone on Feb. 4 in Miami and demanded "everything."
In the docs, cops say there was a confrontation between the three, but claim Watson and his alleged accomplice made off with the person's Rolex. Cops say in the docs the robbery was captured on surveillance footage.
Police say they eventually arrested Walton on Tuesday after they obtained a search warrant to go through the home he was staying in.
Jail records show Walton was booked at 4:49 PM ET and is being held without bond. The records also show the 24-year-old was booked on a charge of robbery/armed/firearm or deadly weapon.
Walton is certainly no stranger to run-ins with the law -- he's been arrested several times in the last few years, including last year when he was accused of exploding on employees at a Florida Pizza Hut.
Walton was also accused in 2019 of striking a pregnant woman, who told police in a 911 call, "My boyfriend beat me up."
Walton was picked in the 4th round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. He later played for the Miami Dolphins, before he was cut over his legal troubles.

"Selling Sunset" honcho Jason Oppenheim is shaken up following an armed robbery in his office's parking lot, but he's taking steps to keep himself and his coworkers safe ... including arming himself.
We got Jason outside his West Hollywood office on Thursday, about an hour after the robbery -- he says the suspect pulled a gun on a man, demanding his luxury watch. Jason says they just missed the incident, walking around the corner as the thief fled by car.
He says he'd already been considering getting a firearm to protect his office and even went to a shooting range for practice. Now, after the armed robbery, he says he's absolutely getting a gun ... and even knows which one.
For now, Jason says he's told his staff to stop wearing watches and jewelry to prevent similar situations. They're also talking with their landlord about getting a security guard for their office.
As we reported, Jason's co-star Christine Quinn's home fell victim to an attempted robbery a few weeks ago. Two armed people tried breaking into her home while her family was asleep, but couldn't get through the triple-paned glass.
She says the window they tried to break was 4 feet away from her bedroom, but luckily no one was injured.
As Jason put it to us, "This city's having a lot of issues right now."

Chris Johnson is opening up on the shooting that took his friend's life -- and severely injured the NFL star -- explaining he feared his professional football career was over.
The 36-year-old former All-Pro sat down with journalist Omar Kelly and Brandon Marshall for an episode of the ex-Pro Bowlers' "I Am Athlete" show ... and detailed the March 2015 morning where CJ2K's was shot in the shoulder, and his friend was murdered.
"We're at the red light, just happened so quick. Just hear windows shattering, next thing you know I'm in the car, one of my other friends in the back seat, my other friend driving," Chris says.
"So I'm sitting there and the next thing you know, I look to the left, I see one of my friends, he's leaning on the horn. He gone. I shake him like wake up, wake up. Outta there. I call my homeboy in the back seat, he's talking to me whatever. So whatever, we go to the hospital."
Chris' friend Rollie died in the shooting.
Johnson, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, and was one of the best running backs of his era, was badly injured as a result of the shooting ... and feared it'd end his football career.
"When I got shot, it went collarbone, shoulder bone, rib, all that. So at this time, now I'm on bed rest. So probably like three weeks after I get shot, my nerves start messing with me. Now my hand goes out like, so painful. I can't use it. If I touch something, it's burning sensational."
"So now I can't use my hand, my right hand is my dominant hand. I can't use my hand so I'm like damn, my career over with."
Chris tells Brandon he was only in Florida to attend a concert put on by a friend who was about to head to prison for several years ... so CJ wanted to hang and say goodbye to his buddy.
However, the night took a turn for the worst ... and Chris nearly paid with his life.
Thankfully, in the full episode, Johnson explains how he was finally able to find a doctor who helped get him healthy, and resume his playing career.

Ukraine Theater Destroyed By Russian Shelling ... As 1,000 Shelter Inside
All that remains on the surface is smoldering wreckage, but underneath this theater, in Ukraine, more than 1,000 civilians are sheltered trying to survive another wave of Russian shelling.
Russian bomber planes demolished the theater Wednesday in the southern city of Mariupol, and images of the aftermath are devastating when you realize somewhere between 1,000 and 1,200 peaceful Ukrainians were inside hiding for their lives.
The number of casualties is unclear, although Parliament of Ukraine member Dmytro Gurin told BBC, "It looks like most of them have survived," noting the basement where many are taking cover remains standing.
The Mariupol mayor's office says emergency workers are still struggling to get to the building due to constant shelling.
This latest airstrike on defenseless civilians comes after Russia's previous attacks on a church, apartment buildings and a maternity hospital.
President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia targeted the theater deliberately, and added, "Our hearts are broken by what Russia is doing to our people. To our Mariupol."
Satellite photos taken on Monday -- 2 days before the attack -- showed the Russian word for "children" written on the ground, warning Russian jets to avoid the building.
Local authorities say at least 2,400 people have been killed in Mariupol since the war began.
An estimated 300,000 residents are trapped in the city, while gas, electricity and water have been cut off.
Despite the horrifying video evidence, the Russian defense ministry is denying attacking the theater.

Russian Invasion Russian Soldiers Execute Ukrainian Civilian ... While Man Had Hands in Air
Here's a new low for Vladimir Putin's monstrous minions -- drone footage shows Russian soldiers opening fire on an unarmed civilian as he was attempting to surrender.
The video, obtained by a German TV station, shows the Ukrainian man driving down a road when he spots Russian soldiers in a tank. The man pulled over and put his hands in the air but it didn't stop the Russians from executing him.
According to the German station ZDF ... this terrifying scene went down March 7 on a highway west of Kyiv. What's particularly chilling about the video is the fact the man seemed to be giving himself up. His hands were already up when he stepped out of his car.
The invaders couldn't care less, and mercilessly decided to shoot to kill.
The Russians showed zero remorse and tossed the man's lifeless body into a ditch on the roadside. A woman and child reportedly witnessed the entire scene, but it's not clear from the video where they were during the shooting.
Russia has continuously denied targeting harmless civilians -- which is considered a war crime -- but, videos like this show just how gruesome and reckless Russian forces have become.

11:24 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained the mug shot Jesus Edrai Cardiel Samaniego took after his arrest.
10:09 AM PT -- Cops tell TMZ Sports ... the alleged gunman fired a shot into the ceiling while sitting at a bar area in the restaurant.
According to police, a man near the suspect grabbed the gun and pointed it away from patrons. Authorities say others -- which, presumably, included Holland -- then jumped in to help subdue the suspect until cops arrived.
A Houston Police Dept. spokesperson tells us the alleged gunman was 24-year-old Jesus Edrai Cardiel Samaniego. The spokesperson said he's been charged with misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon and felony deadly conduct.
Kevin Holland is basically Batman at this point.
The UFC star just took matters into his own hands and stopped a crime dead in its tracks -- AGAIN -- this time, subduing a gunman at a sushi restaurant.
The 29-year-old welterweight was at Ra Sushi in the Highland Village of Houston around 11:30 PM on Monday ... when witnesses say someone entered the restaurant and fired a gun into the air.
But, while most of the folks in attendance ducked for cover, three customers -- including Holland -- rushed to stop the alleged shooter.
One of the heroes, Patrick Robinson, spoke with ABC 13 about the heroic effort ... saying, "We were eating and the next thing you know, a gunshot just popped off. So everything paused and then everybody started running to get down under a table."
"We got him down, apprehended him, got the gun away from him and the bag that he had."
By the time cops arrived, the 24-year-old suspect was already subdued and had his weapon taken away!!
The suspect is now facing charges of possessing a stolen gun and discharge of a firearm, the outlet reports.
Remember, this isn't the first time Holland -- who just beat "Cowboy" Oliveira at UFC 272 -- put his MMA skills to use outside the Octagon. Last year, he helped stop a carjacker just days after competing at UFC Fight Night!!
Get this guy a medal.

Tatiana Perebeinis was the chief accountant for SE Ranking ... it's a Silicon Valley startup which has a large presence in Kyiv. The 43-year-old mother of 2 died, alongside her daughter, Alise, 9, and son Nikita, 18.
Tatiana's husband, Sergii Perebeinis, was not with his family when they were killed. He posted on Facebook, "Trying to hold on but it's really hard." He said the family dogs were also killed in the attack.
It's heartbreak heaped on heartbreak ... their funerals are on hold because the morgues in the city are all filled to capacity.
The family's apartment building was bombed the day before Tatiana and her kids were slaughtered on the street by Russian force.
Tatiana's company issued a statement, saying she was "a very friendly, brave, courageous woman with a great sense of humor. She always cheered everyone around her up. She was truly like a big sister to all of us."
Her son was supposed to attend a university this year. He was required to stay in Ukraine ... 18 to 60-year-old men cannot leave the country.

Hector 'Macho' Camacho 5 Men Arrested ... For Brutal 2012 Murder

Breaking News

Nine years after Hector "Macho" Camacho was brutally murdered outside a bar in Puerto Rico, five men have been arrested and charged in his slaying.
Camacho -- a former 3 weight class world champion -- was shot in the face while he sat with a friend in a Ford Mustang. The boxer didn't immediately die from his injuries, but was declared brain dead by doctors. After several days on life support, Hector passed away on November 24, 2012.
The murder shocked PR and the boxing world ... and the loss was compounded by the fact the murder went unsolved for so long.
But, on Wednesday, the first of five suspects appeared before a judge, accused of killing Camacho, according to the Associated Press.
Several of the suspects were already serving time behind bars ... including three people who were in a federal penitentiary in Florida. U.S. officials transported the inmates by plane to Puerto Rico so they could face the judge.
Two other men were arrested ... one from a Puerto Rican jail, and another from his home in the early morning hours, not far from where the shooting happened nearly a decade ago.
Authorities say there were more people involved ... but those men won't have their time in court 'cause they were themselves killed in unrelated incidents in 2013 and 2015.
Camacho -- who was 50 years old at the time of his death -- faced some of the greatest fighters during his great career ... including wins over "Sugar" Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran (twice).
The motive for the crime is still unknown.
Camacho's elderly mother was thrilled with the news of the arrests, getting a modicum of justice for her late son, per the AP.
"They gave me justice."
