According to officials, by the time officers arrived, the fight had ended, with most of the participants having already left. (RELATED: Multiple Brawls Break Out In Falcons’ Training Camp)
“At this time, we have victims and suspects identified, and we have charged five people in this offense,” Theetge said. “I’m not going to release that information to you. I will say if individuals were down there and participated in this event, it would be in their best interest to come turn themselves in at one of our police districts.”

“We have five we have charged and anticipate more,” Theetge added. “Let me be clear. Anyone, anyone who put their hands on another individual during this incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences. I don’t care which side of the incident or the fight they were on. If they place their hands on somebody in an attempt to cause harm, that is unacceptable.”

While Theetge applauded the tips sent to officials, she called out the estimated 100 people who watched the incident, saying that only “one phone call” had been made. The Cincinnati police chief said it “is unacceptable” in Cincinnati that only “one person did the right thing and called 911.”

According to a Department of Justice official, the FBI, at Attorney General Pam Bondi’s direction, has launched an investigation and is already interviewing suspects.
