Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval: 'Arrests are forthcoming' in viral fight video
"I am out outraged by the vicious fight that occurred Downtown," Pureval said in the statement. "It is horrifying to watch, and this unacceptable and disgusting behavior is intolerable in any part of our community."
Pureval said he has been in "consistent communication" with Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge since a crowd erupted in violence at the corner of the Fourth and Elm streets late on July 25.
"Our police have been working around the clock to investigate and bring perpetrators of violence to justice," he said.
Based on their investigation, he added, "I am confident that arrests are forthcoming."
Pureval said city officials do not believe the fight was connected to the Cincinnati Music Fest, Reds games, the Big3 tournament or any of the large events that night.
Pureval did not immediately respond to a call from Cory Bowman, his opponent in this fall's mayoral race, to remove Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long from her position.

Trump Wildly Claims Wall Street Journal And China Are In Cahoots Amid Epstein Lawsuit
President Donald Trump alleged in a bizarre rant that The Wall Street Journal wants to see China 'WIN, BABY, WIN' on Thursday. 'The reason that The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is always negative on 'TRUMP,' and the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars we're bringing into our Country through Tariffs, numbers that the U.S.A. has never seen before, is because they are China centric or, at a minimum, Globalists, and they would rather see China and the World, for reasons unknown, 'WIN, BABY, WIN,' the POTUS wrote in a Truth Social post. Trump then insisted that if 'the United States were not able to charge Tariffs to other Countries, it would be Economically defenseless and, of no further force or effect. The only thing that can destroy our Country are Crooked, Radical Left Judges, of which there are many!' The president has faced scrutiny over his sweeping global tariffs, which went into effect Thursday, subsequently raising the prices of household goods for Americans. The tariffs are projected to affect imports from more than 60 countries. The WSJ — which has grilled the president's efforts during his second term in office — and Trump have been embroiled in an ongoing feud. The dispute ignited further after the outlet published a report about an alleged, racy birthday cardthat Trump sent to convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The letter was said to contain a drawing of a naked woman and a strange message about secrets, according to the WSJ. Trump, who is suing the WSJ over its report on the letter, has denied writing the letter. 'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women,' he told the Journal. 'It's not my language. It's not my words.' The president added: 'I'm gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else.' Trump further slammed the WSJ over their report in a separate Truth Social post, calling the article a 'false, malicious, and defamatory story.' Related...

Man and woman found in car along Pacific Coast Highway were dead for several days, police say
The Ventura County Sheriff's Department is investigating the deaths of a man and woman who were found in a car near Point Mugu State Park on Wednesday evening. The unidentified couple were found in a vehicle by a passerby around 7:40 p.m. along Pacific Coast Highway near Vista Point, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. The Ventura County Fire Department received a call for two possible deceased patients, and a fire engine from Naval Base Ventura County was dispatched to determine if the two people in the car were dead, according to a spokesperson from county fire. Investigators believe there is no immediate threat to the public and say this appears to be an isolated incident. The couple are believed to be in their 40s and had been dead for several days, according to the sheriff's office. Video footage of the scene suggests the car is a dark-colored sedan. The sedan was found in an area west of the state park's boundary, according to a spokesperson with the California State Parks, and the investigation into the deaths is being lead by the Sheriff's Office major crimes unit.
