Motor vehicle accidents, noise complaints and the need for crowd control at several large events kept police in all six Island towns busy over the weekend.

Edgartown

Just before 1 a.m. on Saturday Edgartown police observed a man hanging out the window of a sport utility vehicle on Main street. The vehicle was moving through a crowd of people near the Wharf Restaurant when the driver began to blow the horn and the person hanging out the window began yelling.

Several residents of State Road in Tisbury contacted police early Sunday morning to report a disruptive argument between two men that quickly escalated into a physical altercation. Police were alerted to the fracas near the entrance of the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road around 3:20 a.m., and arrived to find two men yelling at each other and one with a bloody nose.

The brawl had slowed traffic and disrupted neighbors, but when police arrived the two men separated and said they were friends. Both said they did not wish to press charges.

Island police responded to numerous motor vehicle accidents, broke up several loud parties and placed a few intoxicated holiday revelers into protective custody over the weekend.

Edgartown

On Friday at 10:30 p.m. Edgartown police responded to a single-car accident on Meshacket Road near Morning Glory Farm. When officers arrived they discovered that a blue Chevrolet S10 Truck had gone off the road and struck the guide wire of a telephone pole.

Island police had a busy weekend.

Oak Bluffs police responded to 72 calls for service from early Friday morning to late Sunday night and made six arrests.

Just after 7 p.m. on Friday, police responded to a report of a man on County Road seriously bleeding from the head. After speaking with the victim, police learned he had been hit in the head several times with a brick by a man who then fled the scene.
