New video shows the moment a brawl broke out between a wedding party and police officers in Newport, Rhode Island. The bodycam video shows the fight quickly escalating, with members of the wedding party and police trading blows.

Five of the six members of the wedding party who were charged in connection with last weekend's brawl outside the Landing Restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island appeared in court Wednesday.

Husband and wife David Onik, 44, and Rachael Onik, 41, of Barrington, Rhode Island, entered not guilty pleas, and bail was set at $1,000. David Onik is charged with disorderly conduct, and Rachael Onik with two counts of simple assault, one count of resisting arrest, one count of obstructing an officer and one count of disorderly conduct.

Alexandra Flaherty, 31, and Robert Nash, 30, both of Marshfield, Massachusetts, did not enter pleas, because their cases are being moved to superior court. Their bail was also set at $1,000. Both Flaherty and Nash are charged with assault of police officers, simple assault, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct.

Olivia Costello, 20, of Milton, Massachusetts, also pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $1,000. She is charged with simple assault, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct.

A sixth person, Kyle Swain, 28, of South Weymouth, Massachusetts, has also been charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, but he has yet to appear in court.
