The teen was one of several people who rushed to the aid of the Black security guard, who came under attack after reportedly asking a group of white boaters to move their boat and allow the dinner boat to dock.
A 16-year-old is being hailed as a hero and dubbed “Black Aquaman” after footage from a viral dock brawl in Alabama over the weekend captured him leaping off a three-story dinner riverboat and swimming over to join the fray.
Once he got to the dock, the teen jumped in to defend a Black security guard who was under attack by a group of white boaters, pinning down at least one person and even suplexing another WWE-style. Identified only as Aaren, he was one of several people who rushed to the aid of the security guard, who came under attack after reportedly asking the boaters to move their seacraft and allow the dinner boat to dock.
