New footage has emerged showing Rhode Island police fending off drunken wedding guests who started a brawl when a bar refused them entry, with one woman attempting to grab an officer's gun in the melee.
Newport Police officers were called to The Landing, a seafood restaurant on Bowen’s Wharf, around 1am on Sunday, after the unruly group demanded entry.
New video shows the moment police were swarmed by the party-goers as they tried to arrest one of the men in the group, who'd punched a member of the bar's staff.
That's when all hell broke loose.
One of the men punched the officers while several other women rushed in, kicking them in their genitals and one even attempting to grab an officer's gun.
She was thrown to the ground and lost consciousness - which seemed to enrage the party-goers even more.
In total, officers arrested six individuals in relation with the incident, the majority of whom appeared in court today and were arraigned, according to the Newport Buzz.
The incident started when David Onik is alleged to have tried to punch an employee and push another when he was denied entry as an 'unwanted party'.
As police questioned David, his friends began crowding around the officers and were repeatedly told to back away.
When they refused to listen, the cops tried to place Rachael Onik, 41, under arrest but she tripped and toppled to the ground.
This triggered the group to lunge at the officers, launching an all-out brawl where one woman repeatedly reached for an officer's gun.

Newport Rhode Island isn’t exactly ghetto so no surprise here. Crazy rich people perhaps.
White punks on dope. Or is it white dopes on punk?
The Landing, a seafood restaurant on Bowen’s Wharf? Is that a fancy name for redneck bar?
It’s Newport.
John F’n types.
Rhode Island is trash. It’s a cesspool. Providence is gross.
Newport may seem fancy with the big houses but it’s trash, too.
Hell, just look at its members of congress.
Did she kick that cop in the hooties? 😮
LOL...isn’t that a Buffalo thing with the smashed coffee tables there????
From what I can tell, that chick with the red dress needed to be unconscious on the ground. She is the one that went for the gun, and was stomping on the cop’s crotch?
If so, she is lucky indeed she didn’t get shot.
Sad. What a waste. All of it.
Weddings and funerals bring out the absolute worst in people.
