Police setting up a cordon around the scene (WSFA)The eyes of the world have been looking at Montogomery in recent weeks following the massive waterfront brawl that erupted there.
A number of people were arrested and even more arrest warrants issued in connection with the riverfront brawl in Alabama’s capital, that drew nationwide attention.
Major Saba Coleman, of the Montgomery Police Department ,said there are currently four active warrants and more could be issued after authorities review more footage. Police said Sunday that several people were detained and charges are pending.
Emergency services at the scene (WSFA)Video circulating on social media showed a large melee Saturday that appeared to begin when a crew member of a city-operated riverboat, the historic Harriott II, a three-story dinner cruise boat, tried to get a pontoon boat moved that was blocking the mooring space. An argument erupted before a topless man swung at the worker and a fight began.
The conflict escalated when several white people joined in on attacking the Black crew member. A separate video shows that several Black passengers then confronted the pontoon boat group after the riverboat docked, sparking another brawl that was largely split along racial lines.
One of the brawlers, a Black man, got his hands on a chair and was seen towards the end of the melee bringing it down ferociously on people's heads, including one woman who had already been knocked to the ground. Before the Harriott II had a chance to moor, a 16-year-old boy, dubbed 'Aquaman,' jumped off the boat and into the water so he could swim over and join the fight.

“In the face of adversity, Aaren selflessly came to the rescue of a fellow colleague, showcasing courage beyond his years,” Lashea said in the statement on Facebook.
