Three Israeli citizens were arrested by Romanian police Friday after taking part in a brawl at a hotel in Bucharest.
Eyewitnesses claimed individuals from a Jewish group and an Arab group, both from from Israel, assaulted each other near the pool at the Radisson Blu following a concert by Israeli singers Lior Narkis and Dudu Aharon, the Ynet news site reported.
A video of the altercation that went viral on on social media showed people throwing chairs and pushing each other, with one individual appearing to push a woman into the water.
Later on in the video, a number of security personnel are seen accompanying the clashing individuals outside the pool compound.
Police investigators in Romania gathered security footage at the hotel as well as from a casino nearby, and interrogated three of those involved in the fight.
While the reason for the brawl wasn’t officially stated, witnesses said the altercation broke out after a bottle of water spilled on a girl in the pool area.
No injuries were reported in the incident, according to the Israeli embassy in Romania.
