Alabama’s Montgomery Riverfront Park unexpectedly made headlines after a brawl broke out on a dock. The fight appeared to be racially divided. Once videos of the same took over the internet, netizens also referred to rapper Baby Shmurda. Many found the fight hilarious and endlessly referred to the singer’s popular Hot Ni*ga music video.
A large group of people were caught fighting at the 200 block of Coosa Street in Montgomery recently. The brawl broke out after a pontoon boat blocked the dock space, which was to be taken up by another riverboat. The area was reserved for the Harriott II Riverboat, which was taken over by another vessel.
A Riverfront Park security guard took it upon himself to rectify the situation by getting in touch with one of the pontoon boat owners. This led to a fight igniting between the Black dock worker and the Caucasian pontoon boat people.
In a video that has gone viral across social media platforms, the dock worker can be seen tossing his hat in an animated manner before getting into a fight with the unidentified Caucasian man. Netizens found the same hilarious and repeatedly referred to Bobby Shmurda for the same.
For those unversed, Bobby Shmurda removed his hat and tossed it over his shoulder in his popular song, Hot Ni*ga. The music video was released in March 2014, and the New York Knicks hat scene left the internet in a frenzy.
Several netizens brought up the same after the Montgomery video went viral. One noted:

Fight between dockworker and Caucasian man leads to large brawl
As the fight between the two continued, one witness to the scene yelled – “Y’all help that brother!” This led to several people not only defending the Black man, but also the Caucasian fighter getting help. At one point, a person on a boat jumped into the water to take part in the brawl himself.
Several people were seen punching, knocking down, and relentlessly beating up each other.
