Police said they made multiple arrests and issued “several citations and warnings” after a brawl broke out at the “Mayhem at Lake George” boat party in Volusia County, Florida, on Saturday, May 7.

The sheriff’s office released this footage showing a group of men fighting, with officers heard commenting that someone looked “unconscious” and was “bleeding heavily from the face.”

Fox 35 Orlando said Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood confirmed that around 12 people were arrested, and that “most of them were for alleged boating DUIs, but some were for the fight.”

The “Mayhem at Lake George” Facebook event page describes the party as a “huge floatilla [sic]/gathering on the Juniper sandbar,” with no tickets required.
