A drunk woman was left unconscious after she was body slammed when a dispute over line-jumping at an Ohio water park sparked a mass brawl.
Footage shows the 23-year-old, who is studying to be a police officer, as she is hurled head-first into the ground while around ten people in swimsuits trade punches with each other.
She is then seen with blood pouring from a head wound.
Brittany Cabay and her boyfriend Zackary Thomas Colzin, 24, were arrested following the fight at the Kalahari Water Park in Sandusky, Ohio, on May 17.
Videos show the brawl erupting at the entrance to the resort's FlowRider surf ride. Two staff members wearing lifeguard T-shirts are caught in the middle trying to diffuse the situation.
A man, identified as Colzin, can be seen punching one of the brawlers, who Cabay then charges.
She lands several punches on the man before he lifts her up and body slams her head first into the ground, knocking her out.
The site's Emergency Medical Technician then rushes to restrain the man and Colzin jumps in to hurl several more punches in his direction.
Eventually a lifeguard steps in and seems to spar with Colzin to keep him away from the EMT and the man who body slammed Cabay.
But, Colzin fights back and eventually the EMT staffer tackles him to the ground with the help of an onlooker.A woman then grabs a chair and hurls it at Colzin who picks up and tries to throw it back but is stopped by another man.
Colzin then appears to slip over backwards as onlookers rush to restrain him. The camera then pans back to Cabay who is still unconscious on the floor.
Official reports said Colzin later hit his head on the floor after he was tackled by a water park staffer and was unconscious when paramedics and deputies arrived at the scene.
The EMT told law enforcement he had been forced to tackle Colzin, who described girlfriend Cabay as 'all I need' on Facebook.
Once he was conscious he cursed, shouted racial slurs, and punched one of the deputies. He also threatened to self-harm. He was tasered and placed under arrest.
Colzin, of Sterling Heights, Michigan, was charged with two counts of assault on a peace officer and an EMT, persistent disorderly conduct while intoxicated, resisting arrested, and a failure to disclose personal information.
He was remanded in custody at Erie County Jail without bond. Authorities said there is a warrant for his arrest in Michigan over an alleged car theft.
Cabay of Flint, Michigan, was also arrested over the brawl.
When she regained consciousness she refused medical attention from paramedics and allegedly made death threats against emergency services personnel at the scene.
She refused to identify herself, telling deputies she was studying to become a police officer, and repeatedly tried to talk to Colzin who was waiting outside for an ambulance.
As she approached Colzin she reportedly became 'combative' and was asked by officers to walk away. She was arrested after she refused to move and continued trying to talk to Colzin.
She was charged with persistent disorderly conduct while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and failure to disclose personal information. She made bail from Erie County Jail on a $14,000 bond.
Cabay and Colzin both received medical treatment at Firelands Hospital before they were remanded in custody.
They were both arraigned Tuesday morning in Huron Municipal Court.
Deputies said it is possible a third person may face charges over the incident.
Erie County Sheriff Paul Sigsworth said these incidents have been increasingly frequent at the water park in the last few months.
'We've had too many incidents there that have quite frankly been fueled by overconsumption and abuse of alcohol,' he said hinting he thought pent-up demand after a year of lockdowns contributed to the rise.
'They were both very intoxicated, and they were also combative. The male was combative with our deputies. He was charged accordingly, and he also had a warrant out in the state of Michigan.'
Since the beginning of the year, Sigsworth said, they have responded to 150 calls at Kalahari, including a shooting where ten rounds were fired outside the resort late a night.
No one was injured in the shooting and deputies later arrested an 18-year-old man from Toledo one suspicion of attempted murder. A second suspect is on the run and is yet to be identified by police.
Among the rest of the 150 incidents were seven assaults, ten disorderly conduct incidents, and 13 cases of domestic violence, 19 News reported.
Sigsworth said he wanted people to enjoy a visit to the water park but also 'be responsible with their consumption of alcohol.
'We'll continue to respond to 911 calls out there, whatever they may be, and if people are intoxicated to the point where they're causing a disturbance, they're gonna be arrested.'
He said his office was doing 'everything we can to combat those issues' including working with local and state partners as well as staff at the water park.
Sigsworth added deputies would increase patrols in the resort, especially in the evening, and that the resort were paying for staff overtime.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Brittany best forget about becoming a cop.

Obviously the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons is a problem that needs to be addressed.
She's lucky they didn't throw her as down the slide to drown.
