Footage of a fight drawing to an apparent close after a chair entered the situation has entered a state of virality in light of the extensive news coverage surrounding the previously viral riverboat brawl in Alabama.
The new clip, which appears to have originated from a Detroit-based Instagram account earlier this week, focuses on two men, one of them charging at the other. The man being charged at, meanwhile, proceeds to respond by hitting the other man with a folding chair.
“The era of the folding chair: Downtown Detroit yesterday,” the caption to the Instagram post reads.
In the clip, you can hear several warnings being shouted off camera, including apparent bystanders urging the charging man to “stop" or “you’re gonna get fucked up.”
At the time of this writing, it remains unclear when, exactly, the clip was recorded and what, exactly, transpired prior to the moments captured in the video. The footage has grown increasingly popular over the past 24 hours, particularly on Twitter. It has also been shared and discussed on the Detroit subreddit.
Chairs, of course, have maintained a hilarious presence across social media in the wake of that aforementioned riverboat incident. On Wednesday, local police said that two of the three white men who were charged in connection with the fight had turned themselves in.
23-year-old Allen Todd and 25-year-old Zachary Shipman both face assault charges in the case, per a Montgomery Police Department rep’s statement to NBC News. 48-year-old Richard Roberts was previously taken into custody, with local police likely to announce further charges in the coming days.
Meanwhile, TMZ cited docs on Wednesday as revealing that the white men who attacked a Black deck worker allegedly screamed the n-word and threatened further violence during the fight.
