A dramatic video has surfaced showing police in Rhode Island leaping on board a moving ferry to reportedly break up a fight.
The incident happened Monday night as the Block Island ferry was returning to the Point Judith terminal in Narragansett.
Footage posted on Twitter showed four officers jumping over the water to get onto the ferry as the boat they were traveling in was trailing close behind.
Police were called to the scene because a fight on board the ship resulted in multiple injuries, according to WJAR.
