A lawyer for Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis shared video of his removal from a United Airlines flight by FBI agents.

In the 36-second clip provided by attorney Parker Stinar, an agent is speaking with the Denver Broncos legend at his seat before he gets up and begins walking off the aircraft.

The three-time All-Pro spoke about the ordeal during an interview on CBS Mornings last week. He said he had "lightly tapped" the shoulder of a flight attendant to get their attention because his son wanted a cup of ice. The flight attendant allegedly responded by saying, "Don't hit me."

The passengers were ordered to remain in their seats when the Denver-based flight landed in Orange County, California. From there, officials from the FBI and local law enforcement boarded the plane and approached Davis before handcuffing him.

The officers spoke with eyewitnesses and released Davis shortly thereafter.

United Airlines addressed the story in a statement to CBS.

"This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide," the company said. "We have reached out to Mr. Davis's team to apologize and continue to discuss the issue with them. We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely look into this matter and we are reviewing our policies around incidents like this."

Stinar said Tuesday he and his firm are suing United and said the video backs up Davis' account, per CBS Colorado's Jesse Sarles.

Davis spent seven seasons with the Broncos, his career getting cut short due to persistent knee injuries. He was a key star on the teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1997 and 1998, and he claimed the MVP Award in 1998 after running for 2,008 yards and 21 touchdowns.
