Summary
Five U.S. cruise passengers — three women and two men — were charged in Nassau after police said they assaulted officers, resisted arrest and damaged property; all five remain in custody.
A fight at the cruise port led to the arrests, and police said a violent struggle erupted at the station when officers prepared to search the suspects.
Four officers were injured, including one taken to hospital with a serious left-shoulder injury.
Police said one woman threw a chair through a glass door, while a man kicked out the remaining glass and tried to escape; local TV footage showed officers subduing him.
The case keeps focus on disorder involving cruise visitors in Nassau as Bahamian authorities continue their investigation.
