Men and women participated in an embarrassing incident of beatings and destruction in the disco of a Carnival cruise ship, when it was approaching the end of its journey in Manhattan (NYC) from the Caribbean.

Between 30 and 60 people would have participated in the massive fight. According to videos released Thursday on Twitter, several women and men, almost all dressed in white, were involved in the brawl between fists, shoves, shouts and thrown chairs, while the few security personnel tried in vain to control them.

Apparently the chaos began with an incident of jealousy between some passengers, detailed New York Post. Then the bellicose began to push each other and break beer bottles Then the fight moved from the fifth floor to the first. According to witness Theresa James, some passengers were “injured and cut by glass” and “most, if not all” of the ship’s security guards rushed to stop the violence.

The incident occurred on the Carnival Magic ship around 5: 20 am Tuesday, while sailing near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge , which connects the counties of Staten Island and Brooklyn, according to the original report.

The fight started between two people, reported Pix11. Dozens more joined the fray, with an estimated 40 to 60 people involved, according to NBC News. Security on board tried to break up the fight, but then asked the Coast Guard for help, the New York police said.

Then the Coast Guard escorted the ship to the Pier 60 near West 48th Street in Manhattan. There NYPD police officers were present when the passengers disembarked from the cruise ship.

No information was immediately available on the arrests. Authorities could not confirm whether the incident would be handled by the New York police, New Jersey authorities, or if it occurred in international waters.

“Last night, while Carnival Magic was returning to New York, several passengers were involved in an altercation at a nightclub,” the company said in a statement Wednesday. “Fortunately no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened.”

“The cruise ship arrived as scheduled this morning and the police authorities on land They were notified and came to the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation.”

The ship, which departed the Cape Liberty cruise port in New Jersey on June 20, traveled to Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos Islands and a private area in the Bahamas before returning to the Hudson River shoreline, according to an online tracker.
