Cincinnati cops have arrested three people in connection with a savage mass brawl that left two injured over the weekend.
Jermaine Matthews, 39, Montianez Merriweather, 34, and Dekyra Vernon, 24, were taken into custody this week after a couple were violently set upon in the downtown area of the Ohio city on Saturday.
Search warrants have also been issued for two other unidentified people accused of jumping into the shocking melee.
Footage of the altercation swept social media as the couple were seen being beaten on the street near the LoVe nightclub as a crowd gathered.
Cincinnati Chief of Police Teresa Theetge said during a press conference on Monday that around 100 people descended on the brawl, but only one called 911.
'That is unacceptable to not call the police,' she said. 'Traffic was horrendous. People saw this. They were fighting in front of traffic. Why didn't people call us?'
Matthews was charged with aggravated riot and assault, however charges against the other individuals are not immediately clear.
Daily Mail has contacted Cincinnati Police Department for more information on the charges, with Theetge adding that other arrests may come as cops continue investigating the clash.

They just can't control themselves. Sad.
That Chief of Police is a real dei pizza chit.
“Wild guess...it’s them.”
Jermaine, Montianez and Dekyra
it’s not all of them...but it’s always them.
'Anyone who put their hands on another individual during this incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences,' she said.
'I don't care which side of the incident or the fight they were on.'
I see that last sentence as a problem.
In oversized police hats are the Three Stooges of law enforcement: Theetge, Anne Kirkpatrick (NOLA PD), and the former San Fran police chief Heather Fong, whose hat was not only too big but kept falling off.
Tribal
They’ve taken this racist Black Panties, Wakanda thing a bit too far.
Seems the Chief has no control over her own force. Can’t believe there was not a pair of patrolmen in the immediate vicinity of a popular club. New Chief is needed.
You have to cut Will some slack. He’d be doing hard time in prison if he reported the actual facts.
No-——headline is again wrong.
Not a “brawl”-—an attack. Followed by three men trying to backpedal or walk away but being surrounded and kicked and punched.
And a woman trying to intervene getting knocked unconscious and having here head hit the concrete and her eyes open.
God bless Emily Compagno for saying: This was not a brawl, it was an attack. She has a Juris Doctor degree.
Police chief.
Like the other woke people, she is siding with the violent criminals.
That went out of style when the new sheriff came to town in DC.
Maybe the two now charged had unhappy childhoods in dysfunctional families before the crimes for which they were charged and released on bail (one a $400 portion for 10%) and then probably being dissed verbally in the incident.
A black mob almost beat a white couple to death. The little coverage it gets pretty much buries the fact
Thank you for this thread about the most important topic-—my opinion. The burning anger underlying the attacks cannot be swept under the rug. It is real.
Hey Zeus ????
I’ve been looking for ANY background to this story
Was it a robbery? How did the mob pick on this couple in particular?
“Why didn’t people call us?”
That stupid police chief was only outraged because someone posted the black on white attack on line and the media reported it. She had ZERO outrage to the attackers, blamed the white guy, and saved her animosity for the media for showing the video. People didn’t bother to call the police because they were busy filming it because this is just how those people act now and it gets them ‘likes’.
I haven’t tried to dig into the story at all but I also haven’t seen any of those details, I’m only guessing at what roughly happened and it comes out as another horrible racial hate crime, this is sure inadequate reporting by the media.
5 to 1 they indict the white people for instigating the riot.
Walking while white in Cincinnati.
Every fight I see, it’s usually 6-10 of them on one person. This was no different..
It’s like, you can throw a switch and they go from civilized (?) to street savages in an instant. The trigger seems to be the sight of any Whitey perceived as weak: elderly, child, suffering from an illness. Then, suddenly, as if they received a order, they begin attacking the unfortunate Whitey as no civilized person would.
If caught, they can claim the Whitey started it, or called them the word that they say a million times a day, but Whiteys can’t.
Maybe, just maybe, if they were held to the same standard as normal civilized humans they just might stop acting like savages and act like civilized humans. Maybe. Maybe not.
