NEW ORLEANS (WDSU) — The Krewe of Carrollton parade was delayed Sunday after an incident involving riders.
According to the New Orleans Police Department, all of the riders on float 10 in the parade were removed after beads were thrown in an aggressive manner towards officers along the parade route.
Police did not confirm whether any cars were damaged during the incident.
The incident is under review.
AG Liz Murrill released a statement in response, writing:
“Absolutely appalling. They should be held accountable. A quick way to ruin Mardi Gras and make it more dangerous for everyone. The NOPD, Troop Nola, and their partners work countless hours during the Mardi Gras season to keep it safe for everyone who lives and visits. This conduct was contemptible.”
