Cruise line officials reportedly notified the Coast Guard amid the brawl. Coast guards launched a boat from Staten Island to escort it to dock in Manhattan, according to WNBC-TV.
“Thankfully no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened,” Carnival Magic said in a statement. “The ship arrived as scheduled this morning and authorities were notified and met the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation.”
NYPD is still reportedly investigating the situation.
