The Daphne Police Department provided WKRG with a video of the brawl.
Daphne police Lt. Jason Lazzari said the fight happened in the early morning hours on Christmas Eve. Daphne patrol officers responded to the original call at the Waffle House on Hwy. 98 near I-10.
“Obviously tensions were a little bit high,” Lazzari said. “A lot of them had scattered by [the time police arrived].”

Multiple videos of the fight were posted to social media in the following hours, and that’s when Lazzari said detectives got involved. Lazzari said investigators are working to identify the people involved in the fight.
“We’re working on a few names that we’ve got that we’re trying to pin down and verify,” Lazzari said.
While there’s no concrete explanation for what started the fight, Lazzari said it did start at a local bar between two groups who somehow knew each other. The incident at the bar carried over to the Waffle House.
