Five U.S. Cruise Passengers Arrested After Nassau Port Fight and Police-Station Melee

Investigators are probing violence at a Nassau police station after a search of arrested cruise passengers resulted in injured officers and smashed glass.

Overview

  • Police say officers responded to a physical fight at the Nassau Cruise Port and arrested three women and two men after intervening.
  • The department says the arrested passengers resisted at the police station where one woman allegedly threw a chair through a glass door and a man kicked out remaining glass while trying to flee.
  • Four officers were hurt during the station confrontation, one with a serious left-shoulder injury who was taken to hospital, and the five passengers received minor treatment for earlier wounds.
  • The suspects remain in custody and face probes for assaulting an officer, fighting in public, resisting arrest, malicious damage and disorderly behavior as the investigation continues.
  • A video circulated by local media appears to show parts of the scuffles and damaged doors, and authorities have not released the suspects’ identities or the cruise line involved.
