Thread: Sixteen men kicked off P&O cruise after brawl

SIXTEEN men were booted off a cruise liner into the hands of central Queensland police after an overnight brawl at sea.

About 2000 passengers on P&O's Pacific Dawn were on the second-last night of a week-long Pacific cruise when a disturbance broke out in the early hours this morning, police say.
It is believed the brawlers were aged in their 20s or 30s and some had been arguing over a female passenger.


It is understood no one was seriously injured in the fight, which was brought under control by the ship's security staff.


Police and customs officials removed the 16 men from the ship this afternoon at Gladstone, where the ship was to refuel.
No charges have been laid.


The Pacific Dawn is due back in Brisbane tomorrow.

Pathetic.

I'm glad P&O handled the matter expeditiously and ejected all these jokers from the ship. And, I'm glad no bystanders got hurt. Some folks might call 16 people fighting a "small riot" - those can turn really nasty in a split instant.
