In the days after, dozens of video recordings circulated on social media, showing fists flying, a chair being slammed onto someone's head, and a man swimming toward the dock to join the fight.
Some described it as "the best fight I've ever seen". But the videos of the violent uproar have also struck a chord with black Americans, who saw the fight - mostly divided along racial lines - as emblematic of the country's racist past, and a symbol for the ongoing fight for equal rights.
The setting of the brawl made the moment more poignant for some: Montgomery, Alabama, is known to be the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, the name given to the battle for racial equality in the US which, in the eyes of some, has not ended.
"In short, I cried," said Candyce Anderson. "My tears were of grief. This is a grieving process… these are tears that our grandparents weren't able to cry."
Though she was not there to witness the incident when it happened, she was at the scene earlier that day.
Along with a dozen other women, she had gone to the dock to drop rose petals in the water to "honour our ancestors".
"The path that we walked to the waterfront, just a block away was the path that our enslaved ancestors walked, brought into Montgomery in chains," she said. "We cannot ignore the history, the ground on which this took place."
