According to a Montgomery Police Department report, officers responded to a disturbance at the 200 block of Coosa Street around 7 P.M. MPD officials said there was a large group of people fighting, leading to several of them being detained.
A number of videos from the incident have since gone viral, showing the beginning of the incident, during, and the aftermath. It is reported that things all began over a pontoon boat that had been blocking a dock space that reserved for a riverboat; that specific spot was reserved for the Harriott II Riverboat.
In the viral videos, viewers see one white man confronting a single Black man, who happened to be a worker at the dock. As an argument ensues, onlookers next see another white man rush over and hit the Black dock worker, who backs up and throws his hat into the air, signaling he was ready to fight.
As arms get to swinging, several white men rush over and join in on the attack, essentially jumping the lone Black man. As onlookers scream and yell in shock, in one video someone can be heard repeatedly shouting to other people nearby, “Y’all help that brother!”

Eventually, others nearby the brawl tried to join in and defend the Black man, including one Black man who dove into the water from a riverboat to help out. But, by the time he swam over and climbed up the dock, the brawl had seemingly dissipated.
When local law enforcement officials finally arrived to the scene, several people were taken into custody; however, authorities have not yet released any names of the suspects taken in. Charges against anyone involved in the massive brawl are currently still pending.
