Several People Detained After Boaters' Attack On Black Worker Leads To Brawl

A 2010 photo of the Harriott II Riverboat in Montgomery, Alabama. “Last night, the Montgomery Police Department acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job,” Reed said. “Warrants have been signed and justice will be served.” Last night, the Montgomery Police Department acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job. The worker is soon confronted by several white men, and they appear to have a heated discussion as people on the boat where the woman is recording the video chant the chorus of Ludacris’ 2002 hit “Move, Bitch.” At the 3:27 mark in the video, one of the white men — who is shirtless and in gray shorts — charges at the Black worker. Many people on social media have dubbed the teenager “Black Aquaman” — and the rest of the Black bystanders who defended the worker as the “Black Justice League.” Makina Lashea, a woman who says she’s a publicist for the teenager’s family, said in a statement posted to Facebook that the swimmer is a 16-year-old boy who she identified only as Aaren.
