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.

I’ll take that bet. How much?
And Scott Adams is a racist. I have several black neighbors - they work hard raise their children and are friendly - as are millions of other black Americans.
Nobody but one called the police because everyone but one approved of the beating.
