Arrest warrants have been issued for three individuals implicated in the tumultuous brawl that erupted at a riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday.
The altercation, captured on video, involved a series of blows, including a chair strike to the head, and culminated with several individuals ending up in the water.
The confrontation was sparked by a disagreement concerning a parking spot along the dock at Riverfront Park, CNN reported.
The clash unfolded between the crew of a sizable riverboat and the proprietors of a smaller private boat, according to Montgomery Police Chief Darryl J. Albert, who spoke during a press conference on Tuesday.
The individuals facing charges include Richard Roberts, 48, who is accused of two counts of third-degree assault.
Additionally, Allen Todd, 23, and Zachary Shipman, 25, have each been charged with one count of the same offense. Chief Albert identified all three as Caucasian men affiliated with the private boat.
As of now, one of the individuals has surrendered and is presently in custody. The remaining two are anticipated to be in custody shortly, although the chief did not specify the exact individual currently detained.
Third-degree assault is classified as a Class A misdemeanor in Alabama, carrying a potential penalty of up to one year of imprisonment.
