Police in Montgomery, Ala., arrested multiple people after responding to a brawl at the city's waterfront on Saturday — a fight that quickly went viral after videos of the melee surfaced online.

The Montgomery Police Department said in a statement that officers responded to a disturbance near Riverfront Park, and "At the scene, they located a large group of subjects engaged in a physical altercation." Police said several people were detained and that four active warrants have been issued, with more potentially on the way with the review of additional video. Police say that unspecified charges are pending.

Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed applauded the police response in a written statement and said that warrants are being signed and "justice will be served."

"This was an unfortunate incident which never should have occurred. As our police department investigates these intolerable actions, we should not become desensitized to violence of any kind in our community," Reed said. "Those who choose violent actions will be held accountable by our criminal justice system."

Reed briefly addressed the issue during a press event Monday afternoon. He said that the safety of the community is paramount, that police are continuing to investigate the incident and that more details will be shared in a press conference on Tuesday.
