Several people were detained at the popular riverfront area of Alabama’s capital over the weekend when a brawl broke out after, police say, a group of boaters attacked a security guard doing his job.
The fight went viral after the boaters, who all appeared to be white, were seen on videos starting the fight with a Black security guard at the dock. Many onlookers then came to the guard’s aid.
According to NBC News, several people are now facing charges in the incident that happened Saturday evening and police are continuing to investigate. Montgomery NBC affiliate WSFA reports four arrest warrants have so far been issued in the incident.
Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed issued a statement that said, in part, “The Montgomery Police Department acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job.”
“Warrants are being signed and justice will be served,” the statement added. “This was an unfortunate incident which never should have occurred. As our police department investigates these intolerable actions, we should not become desensitized to violence of any kind in our community. Those who choose violent actions will be held accountable by our criminal justice system.”
