From Fox News: Police in Cincinnati are investigating a viral video that shows what appears to be a violent brawl in the downtown section of the city.
The fight happened on Friday night, between Elm and Fourth Streets, according to FOX 19 in Cincinnati. Several videos of the fight have made the rounds on social media.
A man in a white t-shirt appears to be shoved to the ground by two other men and mercilessly beaten. The video then shows others in the crowd, women included, joining in on the beating. The man’s head appears to be stomped multiple times.
The man continued to be battered for about 50 seconds before he was helped back onto his feet.
He fell back down after taking a step, and several people helped him up, with one man commenting, “My man’s drunk.”
When he finally made it to his feet, he was noticeably bleeding from his head, nose, and mouth.
A woman rushed to his aid, but she was attacked by the crowd. She was hit twice on the face and fell unconscious after hitting the pavement.
The initial aggressors are unknown, but the investigation may turn towards a hate crime as the attacked man and woman in the video are White, while the crowd is mostly Black.
