Three people were hospitalized after a brawl broke out on a party boat docked at a pier in Brooklyn. Two victims were stabbed and a third was hit in the head with a bottle.
It happened just after 5 p.m. on the Cornucopia Majesty, which was docked at Pier 4 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.
A 32-year-old man was stabbed in the torso, a 40-year-old man was stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen, and a 28-year-old man was hit in the head with a bottle, the NYPD told HNGN.
Police responded to the scene in force after a 911 call.
All three injured men were conscious and alert and rushed to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in stable condition.
Passenger Kevaun Whitely told the New York Times that the fight broke out as a large crowd of rowdy partygoers attempted to push through the same door to get off the boat.
"It was like a stampede," Whitely told the paper.
The fight occurred during the first of two sailings planned for the day by BYFAR Entertainment.
After the incident, the group posted a message on Instagram stating: "Unfortunately, a crime scene developed by the pier, which has caused the postponement of the night event."
It went on to say: "BYFAR Entertainment has always been a beacon of safe events in New York City and this rare occurrence has never been the norm with us."
Police said there were no arrests, but the investigation was continuing.
The Cornucopia Majesty cruises on the East River and Hudson River around Manhattan. It can carry 1,200 guests.
