Alabama Brawl: Police Issue Arrest Warrants After White Boaters Attacked Black Dockworker
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Police in Montgomery, Alabama, have issued four arrest warrants after a
group of white boaters attacked a Black dockworker who told them to move
their illegally parked boat. Cellphone video showed the brawl escalated
when a group of men came to defend the dockworker. A 16-year-old, who
was dubbed Black Aquaman on Tik Tok, where the video first went viral,
was seen swimming across the river to aid the dockworker.
