A huge fight broke out in Montgomery, Alabama and the videos are going viral around social media. The fight happened at the Riverfront just next to the water. One man swam across the river towards the brawl and is now trending on social media. Montgomery police confirmed four active warrants with the possibility of more, plus several who were detained with pending charges.
People were thrown in the river and many were hit with a folding chair. Many ended up in handcuffs, as per footage posted to social media. As many as four active warrants were issued by Montogomery police as of Sunday, August 6. More warrants will possibly be issued after the videos are reviewed, local NBC affiliate station WSFA reported.
The incident took place at the 200 block of Coosa Street at about 7 pm on Saturday, police have confirmed. As per a witness, the group of boaters refused to move their pontoon to allow the Harriott II Riverboat to dock. Some tweets suggested that the fight was racial as “white people jumped this black security guard,” but there is no official statement on racism being involved.
The video of the fight, which has since gone viral, shows exactly how it took place.
In the video, a shirtless man is seen starting the fight, running up and punching the dock worker in the face. The two then struggle, before two more men join in to assault the staffer. A woman is heard screaming and urging others to help. A man is then seen running to the dock and jumping in the river, swimming over to help the staffer being beaten up.
Several other people quickly approach the area, trying to defend the worker, and the video ends. A different video of the incident shows a group of people approaching the pontoon with the opposing groups starting to throw punches.
