Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) on Friday threatened to pull federal funding from Cincinnati after the fallout following a viral video of a 3 a.m. brawl in the streets of the city.
The altercation, which occurred Saturday, resulted in serious injuries for one woman after a physical fight between two men spiraled into a larger conflict as others jumped in.
Five people have been charged in connection to the brawl but only two have been arrested as of Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.
Moreno is blaming local leaders for not responding to the incident swiftly, although police said only one person called 911 to report the violence.
“I’m going to go down there next week. I’m going to deliver them a letter. They’re going to have 30 days to put together a plan to protect the civil rights of all their citizens, regardless of their race,” Moreno said during an interview on “The Benny Show.”
