30 women brawl in Atlantic City, NJ — 4 arrested, more possible

To say the Atlantic City Police Department was busy Tuesday evening would be a bit of an understatement.

In the span of about three hours, officers broke up a huge brawl, took six people into custody, and seized drugs and a gun.

30 women brawl in Atlantic City

At about 5:45 PM, the ACPD says nearly two dozen officers responded to a large fight involving approximately 30 women in the 600 block of Absecon Boulevard. Cops attempted to utilize their emergency lights and sirens to stop the fighting, but that was reportedly unsuccessful.

During the brawl, four women were arrested and they face charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct. More arrests are possible as the investigation continues.

Officers break up alleged robbery attempt

Two hours later at 7:45, two ACPD officers were patrolling near the first block of North Georgia Avenue when they heard a person screaming. They located a man on the ground with 53-year-old Eugene Brown of Atlantic City on top of him, who, according to police, was assaulting the man while attempting to steal his belongings. Brown was cuffed and "he was found in possession of five grams of cocaine." The victim was treated at the scene.
