Montgomery riverfront brawl captured on video, several detained by police

A brawl near the Montgomery Riverfront Park on Saturday evening was captured on video posted to social media by onlookers and ended with multiple people in police custody.

Montgomery police said they were called at about 7 p.m. to the 200 block of Coosa Street on a disturbance.

“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,” a police statement read.

Police did not provide any additional information late Saturday night.

Multiple videos posted to social media suggest the brawl started when a pontoon boat stopped at the riverfront, preventing a riverboat from docking there.

Witnesses said a riverboat worker was attacked by people onboard the pontoon boat. Efforts to confirm these accounts were not immediately successful.
