Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge issued a statement to Fox News Digital, saying, “The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable. Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm. It’s also important to clarify: this was a sudden dispute between individuals following a verbal altercation.”
Chief Theetge also clarified that the incident was not connected to the Cincinnati Music Festival, which took place over the weekend and drew large crowds to the downtown area.
She urged anyone with information to come forward and contact the police department or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, a Cincinnati native, commented on the incident when contacted by Fox News Digital.
“I was born and raised in Cincinnati, and it’s sad to see this kind of heinous violence on the streets,” Ramaswamy said.
“It’s a shame that Democrats in our state remain silent when so many of their constituents are suffering from their lax-on-crime policies. We’re going to bring law and order back to cities across Ohio on my watch. It’s time for a new generation to lead with a spine.”
As of Monday, no arrests had been publicly announced, and police have not provided updates on the condition of the victims.
The investigation remains ongoing.
