According to a statement from New York State Police, Troopers have confirmed they are actively investigating an incident shown in a video circulating from the Town of Newport.

The video, provided to TVOTT Hillbilly News by a local resident, appears to show a confrontation that reportedly took place near the corner of East Street and Norway Street at approximately 9:30 PM. The individual who recorded the video claims the situation began after a vehicle was allegedly speeding through the area.

Authorities have not released additional details regarding possible charges or whether any injuries were reported in connection to the video incident.
