MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A driver’s cell phone was out and recording when a fight broke out in the middle of a busy Fox Meadows intersection early Saturday night.
Kevin Coleman couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of him. The brawl between two women and a man and a woman was blocking both lanes of traffic at Mendenhall and Knight Arnold Roads.

One of the women who was taken to the ground told police it all started when she honked her horn at a driver she thought was moving too slowly through the light.
She said a woman, later identified as Tarika Brownkeys, got out of the vehicle, approached her car, and began hitting her.

In the cell phone video, you can see the man and woman kicking and hitting the sisters while they are on the pavement.
“It’s really unfortunate to see violence in the city, especially men putting their hands on women,” said Coleman.
Brownkeys told officers she and her brother were pushing their disabled vehicle down Mendenhall when the sisters jumped out of their car and started to assault her.
However, investigators said they found video footage from a nearby traffic light that showed Brownkeys approach the sister’s car and begin attacking them.
Brownkeys, 24, was arrested and charged with simple assault and released on her own recognizance. Police said the male suspect fled before officers arrived on the scene.
In Coleman’s video, you can also see a man step out of a car with a handgun and then reach inside his vehicle for a rifle just as the fight is ending.
I grew up in north Philly. Your description is completely accurate.
More fruits of LBJ’s feralization of a a population that was on the verge of full integration in the culture.
Take a look at the bozo in the third picture… he appears to have an AR15 with red dot site, muzzle down.
Could be wrong, but…
The spandex crowd .. they think they own the road and fail miserably at any traffic laws.
Them...avoid THEM.
Looks like a real nice area of Memphis.
Not “road rage”; it’s “’roid rage”.
I can’t wait to hear Steve Inmans account of this fight on Instagram, it’s going to be a hoot.
I believe you are right.
Such a sociable species to be around
Well, I’ve taken to carrying my M1 carbine in the jeep lately, in addition to my normal G19 carry.
It’s getting weird.
