Five suspects have been charged after a fight in the streets of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, on Friday that left two people injured.
Cincinnati Chief of Police Teresa Theetge said Monday that five individuals had been charged but did not release their identities, Fox News reported, noting officials are working on identifying several more people regarding the case.
Theetge said only one person out of 100 at the scene called police for help, adding that was “unacceptable” because numerous people saw what was happening.
According to WLWT, the chief said she expects more charges against the other individuals and it would be in their “best interest” to turn themselves in to law enforcement.
“Anyone who put their hands on another individual in this incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences. I don’t care which side of the incident or fight they were on,” she stated, adding that alcohol played a big role in the fight that happened on Elm and Fourth Streets.
Video footage shows two men fighting as others watched. At one point, the man wearing a white shirt is knocked to the ground and beaten. Moments later, a woman is punched in the face and falls to the pavement unconscious.
