Dozens of Carnival Cruise Line passengers have been placed on the popular cruise line’s “do not sail list” after getting involved in a violent brawl in Galveston, Texas.
A viral video showed several cruise passengers push through a crowd in the terminal before someone gets pushed to the ground and begins to get pummeled by at least two men.
According to KPRC 2, at least 10 people were detained and only 1 person was arrested, Ethan Meritt-Clark, 21, of Chicago, Illinois.
Police found out that Meritt-Clark hit an elderly man who was trying to come in between what was going on and in retaliation, the family of the elderly man and others began beating him.
Meritt-Clark is facing first-degree felony charges for injury to a child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual and is held on a $5,000 bond.
“The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authorities of U.S. Customs and Border (Protection),” Carnival said in a statement. “This matter has been turned over to law enforcement. Meanwhile we will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list.”
