Brutal downtown brawl leaves victims bloodied as Cincinnati police launch investigation

Cincinnati police are investigating a violent altercation that took place Friday night downtown near the corner of Fourth and Elm Streets, resulting in injuries to at least two individuals.
The altercation followed a sudden verbal dispute between individuals and was not connected to the ongoing Cincinnati Music Festival weekend or Reds home game.
