CINCINNATI —
Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge gave an update Friday on the
violent brawl downtown that has sparked national attention. 

Theetge said she stands behind her initial statement, that the viral
video was "not only disturbing, but outright cruel." 

Theetge answered questions from WLWT on how many officers were working
during that time, 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., saying 11 officers were working in
the Central Business District, not counting off duty details. 

"It was an act of violence that shook us all. Every single person who
played a role in that attack will be held accountable," Theetge said. 

In her update, Theetge said there were six victims in the brawl, five
male and one female. 

Police have now charged six people with felonious assault and aggravated
rioting. Three of those have been arrested and they are working with the
fugitive apprehension unit to pursue the remaining three. Theetge said
the names of the remaining three charged will be released upon capture. 

"We will not stop until justice is fully served," Theetge said.

She also said she's working to form a committee to work on the ecosystem
of justice system in Hamilton County which will include judges and law
enforcement agencies to work toward a "safer Cincinnati and county." 

Videos showing parts of the brawl started circulating online Saturday
morning. One video of the fight has been shared hundreds of thousands of
times, across multiple platforms. 

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said working with Gov. Mike DeWine, they
will start deploying highway patrol on highways in the city, to free up
"significant resources to deploy officers in urban core." 

"The priority is public safety and police visibility," Pureval said.

The mayor said they will also be deploying SWAT units, starting at The
Banks and 4th street. 

A new bike patrol will also be deployed to monitor Fountain District and
will "actively engage with the sheriff on the Court Street Area." 

"We are by no means finished," Pureval said.
