Seven people arrested after major brawl at Block Island ferry dock

NARRAGANSETT (WBSM) — Seven people, including a juvenile, were arrested following a large brawl at the Block Island Ferry dock in Narragansett Saturday night.

Five of the adults arrested were from Brockton and another was from Providence. Two people were taken to the hospital for injuries sustained in the fight.

According to Narragansett Police Chief Sean Corrigan, the incident occurred on June 15 at approximately 8:12 p.m. when police responded to a report that “20 to 30 people were actively involved in a fight.”

“Officer Brandon Gagnon was first on the scene and immediately requested backup,” he said. “Upon arrival, officers observed a large group of individuals fighting with one another.”

Corrigan said that as officers made arrests, “numerous individuals began to intervene and were warned to step back or they would be arrested for obstruction.”

Corrigan said the investigation into the incident is still ongoing, but the following people were arrested at the scene:

Maneul Pina, 42, of Brockton, for aggravated assault, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty and disorderly conduct.

Gilda Antunes, 28, of Brockton, charged with obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty.

Elsa Lopes, 31, of Brockton, is charged with simple assault, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty and disorderly conduct.

Henry Lopes, Jr., 32, of Providence for disorderly conduct.

Victor Manuel Gomes Depina, 39, of Brockton, for obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty and conduct unbecoming.

Michael Gomes Lopes, 36, of Brockton, for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

A 16-year-old youth is charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct.

The seven people are expected to be arraigned Monday in the Fourth Division of District Court, Corrigan said.
