CRUISE CHAOS

5 Cruise Ship Passengers Busted Over Wild Chair-Throwing Brawl

Four officers were injured in the confrontation, including one hospitalized with a serious shoulder injury

Five American cruise ship passengers have been arrested after a chair was hurled through a glass door during a violent brawl. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said three women and two men were detained following a “physical altercation” at the Nassau Cruise Port on June 8. Officers responded around 4:45 p.m. local time to reports of a fight involving multiple cruise passengers in the capital. Police said the situation escalated dramatically after the group was taken into custody. At a local station, officers preparing to search the suspects were met with a “violent struggle,” during which a female suspect allegedly threw a chair through a glass door, shattering it, while a male suspect allegedly kicked out the remaining glass and tried to escape before being subdued. Authorities said four officers were injured in the confrontation, including one hospitalized with a serious shoulder injury. The suspects also received treatment for minor injuries and remain in custody facing charges including assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and malicious damage.
