The captain of the tour boat had requested, for 45 minutes over the speaker, that they needed to remove their pontoon boat from the dock.

According to authorities, the fight began when the co-captain of a city-owned boat tried moving a pontoon boat that was blocking it from docking at Riverfront Park.
