Six people were reportedly arrested after drivers and passengers of two bicycle pubs were sprayed with water Saturday in downtown Minneapolis.

No injuries were reported. Minneapolis police did not return calls seeking to confirm the arrests.

Lisa Staplin, manager of PedalPub Twin Cities, said that early Saturday morning her business saw a posting on the “I Hate the Pedal Pub” Facebook page saying the bicycle-powered party vehicles would be attacked at 1 p.m. in Loring Park.

Police waited at the park but no attack took place.

Then, about 6:30 p.m., Staplin said, a PedalPub driver with passengers riding through downtown called to report that a bicyclist had blocked her way and sprayed her in the face with a water gun.

“These weren’t little squirt guns,” she said. “These were big water cannons and SuperSoakers.”

A few minutes later at another downtown location, near Second Street and Third Avenue, a group of six to 10 bicyclists surrounded another PedalPub and soaked the passengers, Staplin said. One passenger was hit in the head with a water balloon and the driver of that PedalPub also took a blast in the face.

Shortly after, the passengers in the second PedalPub incident spotted the attackers, jumped off the vehicle, and held the alleged attackers down until police arrived, Staplin said.

Among the passengers who restrained the alleged attackers were off-duty Burnsville police officers, according to WCCO. The station quoted Chief Eric Gieseke as saying he would ask Minneapolis police to conduct a full investigation into the matter that would include a look at video of the incident.

“I’m just glad nobody got hurt,” Staplin said, adding that drivers are well-trained and did not panic.

The owners of the company, Al Boyce and Eric Olson, agreed in a written statement:

“By squirting our pilot in the face with a water cannon while she was driving our vehicle containing 16 passengers, these individuals created a very dangerous situation. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported and only minor property damage.

“We hope the individuals involved understand their actions were dangerous and wrong and will not do anything like it in the future.”

Shortly after the attack, the Facebook group posted this:

“I have received a few messages that some people have pursued pedal pubs today with squirt guns and water balloons. Wrong idea guys. Although getting wet is mostly harmless, it is still considered assault. As you have seen with this page, the pedal pub has no problem with pulling the lawyer card. Don’t get arrested. Especially if its because you got some (expletive’s) phone wet.”

Residents of neighborhoods with party bike routes criticize the vehicles for their noise and traffic disruption.
