() Police have identified and charged five suspects from a brutal brawl with a large crowd in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. Videos appearing to show the fight have gone viral, as more arrests are anticipated.

“We have victims and suspects identified,” Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa A. Theetge said Monday. “We have charged five people, and we anticipate there will be more.”

Theetge did not disclose the charges or the names of the suspects publicly, citing the ongoing effort to locate them. She also advised those involved to turn themselves in as investigators continue to identify individuals in the videos of the fight.

“Anyone who put their hands on another individual during this incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences,” Theetge said. “I don’t care which side of the incident or the fight they were on.”

The incident occurred at 3:06 a.m. Saturday in Cincinnati’s downtown area, which was crowded with more than 150,000 people attending a major basketball game, a Reds game and a music festival. Officers arrived on scene at 3:12 a.m. to find the fight had ended, with most participants gone but victims still present.

One video taken during the early Saturday morning fight shows a man in a white T-shirt being shoved to the ground by two others. He’s then beaten and stomped on for nearly one minute by multiple people in a crowd.

Other videos appear to show a woman being punched and potentially knocked unconscious for several seconds. Multiple videos, posted by Signal 99, a self-described “Spicy meme page for Cops, Firefighters, Medics and Dispatchers” on Facebook, show crowds with their phone cameras on, documenting the violence.

That Facebook group places the brawl near Fourth and Elm streets on July 25, though Cincinnati police have yet to confirm the exact location.

City officials and authorities have not confirmed whether anyone was hospitalized as a result of the fights.
