He is charged with disorderly conduct, which is a fourth-degree misdemeanor in Ohio.

“We have been clear about the fact that anyone involved in perpetrating violence should be held accountable,” Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said Tuesday. “This is another step toward achieving that, and I want to thank CPD and the prosecutors for their hard work as this process continues.”

Cincinnati police said the fight began as a verbal altercation but quickly turned physical. Videos of the fight have gone viral on social media.

Seven other people have been charged for their alleged roles in the fight. Six were charged with assault and one with robbery.

Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police President Ken Kober, however, has expressed displeasure with the charge the man is facing.

“The city administration is eroding the very fabric of the justice system with orders to prosecute those without probable cause,” Kober said in a statement, according to local outlet WLWT. “Cops are being used as political pawns. It’s disgusting.”

The Cincinnati NAACP also expressed dissatisfaction with the charge. The group’s president, David Whitehead, said members “still question the fairness in charging based on the information we have seen and the conversations we have had.”

“Street altercations typically result in disorderly conduct charges and there are at least five defendants being charged beyond that,” Whitehead said. “We look forward to learning more about the cases and receiving the findings of the final investigation. In the meantime, we encourage everyone who believes in a fair judicial system to register to vote, because that’s how jury pools are determined.”
