Dockside brawl in Antigua, which left 6 Carnival cruise ship passengers released on bond yesterday, after being charged with assault and battery.. We are not sure if they are UK citizens. Update its ok they were Americans..

The passengers, all in their 20s, are being held in Antigua prior to their trial. The brawl took place after the Carnival Victory landed on the island, according to the Antigua News.

Police told the News that the cruisers acted in an “aggressive manner” after an argument with a taxi driver accused of overcharging them.
