An out-of-control brawl broke out on an Alabama dock Saturday among dozens of people in a manic scene that mirrored a massive WWE fight — all captured on video.
The wild battle — which witnesses said started when a group of boaters attacked a Montogomery Riverfront dock worker — ended with people thrown into the river, multiple struck with a folding chair and several in handcuffs, according to footage posted to social media.
Montogomery police have issued four active warrants as of Sunday and more will likely follow as they review videos posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, local NBC affiliate station WSFA reported.
The melee occurred at about 7 p.m. Saturday at the 200 block of Coosa Street, police told the station.
A witness claimed that the group of boaters refused to move their pontoon boat so that the Harriott II Riverboat could dock.
“Last night, the Montgomery Police Department acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job,” Mayor Steven Reed said in a statement. “Warrants are being signed and justice will be served.”
A shirtless man appeared to throw the first punch, running up and punching the dock worker in the face, the video shows.
