Montgomery Alabama Riverboat Fight Full Video 






Videos showing a group of white men attacking a Black dock worker in Alabama have gone viral on social media.

The incident took place after a pontoon boat blocked an area where a riverboat was parking near Montgomery Riverfront Park on Saturday evening, WFSA’s Jasmine Williams reported.

Officers responded to the 200 block of Coosa Street about a disturbance at about 7 p.m. on Saturday, a Montgomery Police Department spokesperson told Newsweek.

“At the scene, they located a large group of subjects engaged in a physical altercation. Several subjects have been detained and any charges are pending,” the spokesperson said.

The police department “acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job,” Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed said in a statement shared on X, formerly Twitter. “Warrants have been signed and justice will be served.”

Reed 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.”

What Do the Videos of the Brawl Show?

Videos shared on social media show the events that led up to the brawl, which unfolded along racial lines.

In one video posted on X, which has garnered more than 3 million views, a woman on a riverboat can be heard talking about the dispute around parking space at the dock. 


The Black man, reportedly a dock worker, is seen near a pontoon boat parked at the dock.

“That guy in the white shirt is… he got off our ship to go over there to move that black pontoon boat on his own because those guys who parked there were told not to leave it there and they left it there, so he’s just pushing it off,” the woman filming is heard saying. 

Moments later, the Black man is approached by a shirtless white man in gray shorts.

The pair are seen talking for some time, while another white man stands nearby. Another white man—shirtless and in red shorts—is seen running towards them.
