Disturbing new images have revealed the horrific injuries sustained by a woman after she was attacked during a mass brawl in Cincinnati last weekend.
Footage surfaced online over the weekend showing the woman, known only as Holly, and a man being savagely attacked in the downtown area of the Ohio city.
Republican state Senator Bernie Moreno said in a post on X that Holly had given him permission to share the damning pictures of her horrific injuries.
Both sides of her face were extremely bruised following the assault, with her right eye a dark shade of purple and almost closed over due to the swelling.
Her bottom lip was also cut open slightly, with dark bruises seen around her neck and upper torso.
Moreno said: 'This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did. We need and deserve change.'
Jermaine Matthews, 39, Montianez Merriweather, 34, and Dekyra Vernon, 24, were taken into custody this week after the viral ordeal - which JD Vance waded in on.
Matthews was charged with aggravated riot and assault, however charges against the other individuals are not immediately clear. Daily Mail has contacted Cincinnati police for an update.
It is alleged that Merriweather was the 'catalyst' for what detectives have described as a 'coordinated attack'.
Search warrants have also been issued for two other unidentified people accused of jumping into the shocking melee.
Moreno also took aim at Mayor Aftab Pureval for what he described as a 'weak statement' from the city leader,...

Amazingly, the media in south Florida has COMPLETELY IGNORED this story.
Now keep in mind: local media in West Palm, Miami, and Tampa are CONSTANTLY beating the drum of “racism” every time some leftist screams the word.
And if it had been two dozen white concert goers beating down a couple of black attendees, you can BET it’d be a story EVERY SINGLE DAY.
On a positive note, they’ve quit doing daily whines about Alligator Alacatraz. Now they’re doing daily whines about Epstein. LOL.
where is the “why” in this story? was it just a random attack?
According to that ghettopotamus on the Cincinnati city council, this woman got what she deserved.
Wasn’t one of those racist thugs released from jail right after this? I think he only needed to pay $400. or have some fool pay it for him
I've read that the white man and a black argued (no idea who started it) and then it became a fight and then other blacks joined in. I'm not inclined to think that the white man intentionally picked a fight with a black man in a crowd of black folks, unless he's stupid beyond belief or has a death wish. So I'm inclined to think that "somebody said something" and "somebody else took offense".
Ha, a non life-threatening injury, or something.
Not a brawl. A savage attack by uncivilized brutes.
bttt
Brawl? WTF???
This was a mob of black racist attempting to murder the white people!
It’s those dam Russians.
I was told they would be invading US cities next. She attacked those poor, innocent BLM, scholars and gentlemen all of them. Probably future Doctors and Pianists.
Coming over here from Moscow Russia and reminding them of all the centuries of slavery and institutional discrimination they have all personally experienced.
(Sarcasm…)
I’m sure that there was some sort of argument going on, but all the PHYSICAL stuff certainly looked like it was all going that direction.
I cant believe Jermaine, Montianez and Dekyra would have behaved this way.
This story immediately went national, and involved all the elements to turn it very hot - DOJ investigation, black-white racial narrative, a woke/lesbian chief of police saying stupid things, alternative media all over it.
The result has been a complete lock-down. No one is saying anything except to the highest levels of law enforcement.
Even the most basic details are unreported - exact location, time-frame, how the involved parties came together, exact numbers involved, proximate and direct causes, etc. etc...
That’s what we get for being white
I’m finding it frustrating that there isn’t any “back story” regarding how this started.
At least not in any of the coverage that I’ve seen.
I am asking if anyone knows if there was some sort of black festival going on in Cincinnati last weekend?
I do know that Indianapolis was having their “IBE”. In past years, the “IBE” was known as the Indiana Black Festival. It seems as though Indianapolis knows to call it “IBE”, so as to avoid bad publicity.
Yes the Cincinnati Music Festival was 3 nights at the Bengals stadium. I believe all Black Artists were at the show, Toni Braxton, LL Cool J, I think maybe Ice Cube was there, Run DMC, Earth Wind and Fire etc.
