The Detroit fight comes on the heels of the Montgomery Riverfront brawl that broke out on Saturday, August 5. As previously reported, the Montgomery Riverfront brawl drew national attention after viral videos of the racially divided incident began circulating online, amassing millions of views.
Authorities said that the brawl began after the black dock worker, identified as co-captain of the Riverboat, Damien Pickett, asked the White pontoon boat owners to move their vessel so the riverboat can dock.
The White men who reportedly refused to move the vessel subjected Pickett to "obscene gestures, curse words and taunting" before throwing the first punch. The initial conflict escalated into a full-blown brawl after several people jumped in to defend the black man, who was being attacked by white pontoon boaters.
Reggie Gray was one of the individuals who jumped to defend Pickett and was caught wielding a chair in multiple videos of the brawl. He is now wanted for questioning.
Meanwhile, police have arrested the three white men, who instigated the fight.
