Santa’s job to find out who was naughty or good at a Christmas celebration on Nantucket island was made extra conspicuous by a road brawl that broke out within the upscale Massachusetts enclave amongst some individuals who confirmed up for his arrival.
A video of the melee, which befell final Saturday on Federal Road through the 51st Nantucket Christmas Stroll the place the spotlight of the occasion is Santa’s arrival on the island’s wharf, was posted this week by the Nantucket Present.
An area information web site reported that the occasion attracts hundreds to the island yearly. However amongst this 12 months’s attendees had been a bunch of well-dressed males ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s who’re seen on the video arguing and shoving one another on the street.
The battle seems to escalate when somebody throws a punch and one other jumps on the again of one other man and the brawl breaks out as a number of individuals are seen throwing haymakers at one another.
Folks close to the digital camera that captured the battle hold repeating “Oh, my God!” in shock over what they had been seeing at an occasion that ostensibly is meant to convey “good tidings of affection and pleasure.”
Officers with the Nantucket Police Division responded to the scene of the battle, in response to the native reporting, however no arrests had been made and people concerned in declined to press prices.
It’s not clear what the dispute that set off the Christmas rumble was about.
