Around 2:25 a.m. on Sunday, police responded to a large fight at 460 Fifth St., where approximately 30 people were fighting, spectating and yelling, according to reports. Police first arrested Bryant Arguto, 23 from North Bergen, who had left the fight and was walking the street without his shirt on allegedly pushing and shoving people in the street, police said. After Arguto was placed in a police car, four women came up to the officers and told them a man was unconscious in the hallway of the building, according to reports.
