Authorities have issued arrest warrants after a chaotic brawl broke out Saturday on a popular riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama, with punches thrown, people hit with chairs and at least one person tossed into the water.
The melee began when a Black man, who a witness described to CNN as an employee, engaged with a group of White men on the dock, according to footage of the incident. A shirtless White man then charged and shoved the employee, and others pushed the worker to the ground and started punching him.
The fight escalated further, with other groups of people entering the fray, and after a short break in the action, a second round of punches and attacks, the footage shows.
Montgomery Police said they were called to the scene and found “a large group of subjects engaged in a physical altercation,” according to a Monday news release. Several people were detained and charges were pending, police added. There are four active warrants and more could come, Maj. Saba Coleman, a Montgomery police spokesperson.
