A third individual has been taken into custody over a violent incident in Cincinnati that resulted in two people being seriously hurt this past weekend, police sources shared with Fox News. The arrest occurred overnight, according to these sources.

Jermaine Matthews faces charges of aggravated riot and assault as part of the investigation into the viral incident, authorities confirmed to Fox News Digital. In just a few days since the event, three individuals have been arrested in relation to this crime.

During a Monday afternoon press briefing, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge stated that five individuals have been charged for their roles in the violence but declined to disclose their identities.

The altercation erupted in the early hours of Saturday near the popular LoVe nightclub and an adjoining late-night eatery. The incident, captured on video, quickly gained attention and triggered public outrage.

The video shows a group attacking a man and woman, with the woman eventually being knocked unconscious by a sucker punch.

Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke with Holly — the woman who was knocked out — on Monday.

“She’s a single working mom who attended a friend’s birthday celebration. It’s shocking that there were no police in that part of Cincinnati on a Friday night, nor even an ambulance to take her to the hospital,” someone commented. “Hardworking Americans shouldn’t have to fear for their safety while enjoying city life. Holly mentioned that, apart from one police detective, no local or state official had reached out by this afternoon.

“Leftists like to lecture about ‘systemic injustice’ while thugs turn our cities into war zones. I’m done with their excuses,” he continued. “As governor, I’ll make sure they’re behind bars, not running wild. Our cops will have the green light to restore order—no apologies. Holly appreciates the kind words and prayers from patriots across the country, and hopes that the publicity around her story ensures that local & state leaders clean up our failing cities. We hope to visit Holly soon as she recovers.”

Cory Bowman, who is also Vice President JD Vance’s half-brother in addition to being a candidate for Cincinnati mayor, slammed the city’s leadership over the incident.

“People don’t even see the sense in calling 911 anymore,” Bowman told Fox News Digital.
