In a shocking incident that took place on Saturday, August 5, in Alabama, a 16-year-old boy has been hailed as a hero for jumping into a river to save a dock worker from a group of attackers. The boy, who has been identified only as Aaren, has been dubbed "Black Aquaman" for his swift and selfless action. The brawl broke out on a dock on the Alabama riverfront, involving dozens of people. According to witnesses, the fight started when a group of boaters attacked a Montgomery Riverfront dock worker.

The incident was caught on video, which later went viral on social media. In the video, a shirtless man is seen starting the fight by punching the dock worker.
