Authorities are reviewing police action (or inaction) after a video surfaced on YouTube showing a violent confrontation between zombie pub crawlers on the Minneapolis light rail system.

In the video, one man appears to get knocked out by a blow from one of the brawlers. The incident allegedly occurred in the early morning hours of Oct. 14, during Minneapolis' famous Zombie Pub Crawl. The footage was recorded by Burnsville resident Beth Houston, KAAL TV reported, who told a police officer about the fight after exiting the train. However, by Houston's account, the officer did not look into the matter any further. Houston filed a complaint and posted the video on YouTube.
