Victims’ Condition and Public Reactions
The condition of the victims remains unknown.
The graphic video, widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter), shows a man being punched and kicked while lying on the ground. Another clip reveals a woman in a floral dress collapsing, possibly unconscious. Blood is seen coming from her face in parts of the video.
In a longer version of the footage, a man can be seen punching the woman. After falling to the ground, she appears to lose consciousness. Due to the graphic nature, Men’s Journal chose not to embed the video, though it remains widely accessible on social platforms.
Mob of black men and black women attacked a white man and white woman early on Saturday morning during the Cincinnati Jazz Festival, stemming from a “verbal altercation.”

Hate Crime Concerns Arise Online
Since the attackers and victims appear to be of different races, some online users have called for a hate crime investigation. However, the police chief's statement did not support that viewpoint.
Ken Kober, President of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police, stated to WLWT:
"The violence shown in this suburban video is appalling. Equally appalling are those who chose to film and watch the incident rather than call 911 or help de-escalate the situation."
The identities of those involved remain unclear, as does the nature of their relationship.
How to Report Information
Local 12 has urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
