Violent Brawl In Downtown Detroit Captured On Video

By Leave a Comment

We post incidents like these all the time, we hear it go down, but rarely see the incident. This video shows a fight that happened Saturday evening/Sunday morning in the area of Greektown Casino.

Initially, Detroit Police officers assigned to the area as “Greektown Units” thought someone might have been shot. Once officers arrived on the scene they discovered 1 person with serious injuries due to the fight. No shooting had occurred.
&nbsp:


 
When people get “liquored up”, things are bound to happen. There have been numerous robberies, both armed and unarmed, in the downtown area around Greektown and even a few shootings.

It’s best to keep your wits about you when visiting downtown Detroit, no point in becoming a victim.

Good write-up below on the incident from George Hunter of the Detroit News.

One Person Hospitalized After Violent Brawl In Greektown

From The Detroit News:

Detroit police are investigating a violent brawl in Greektown on Saturday night that left one man hospitalized.

The incident, which was filmed and posted to Facebook, is the second videotaped fight within a week in Detroit that shows several people cheering instead of helping.

In the most recent fight, police say people filmed and cheered, which has drawn the ire of Detroit’s top cop.

“All those people were out there with their cellphones, and instead of calling the police, they video it for Facebook,” Chief James Craig said. “This is extremely disturbing.”

Eventually, two 911 calls were made and police arrived on the scene “relatively quickly,” Craig said, but the fight was already over.

The 51-second shaky video of Saturday’s fight begins by showing an apparently unconscious man lying on the sidewalk outside the Greektown Parking Garage at the corner of Monroe and St. Antoine. The camera then pans to a man pulling another man by the leg, while others jump in and begin kicking and beating him.

Two of the men then rush over to another man lying on the sidewalk and begin beating and kicking him amid shouts from onlookers. The camera sweeps left, showing a man knock down another man with a punch; the victim falls next to the prone man who was in the video’s initial shot.

The second man is attacked for a few seconds before he’s able to get up. One man delivers a punch to the first man’s head before walking away.

Several people are seen on the video laughing as the men are beaten. Another group stands outside St. Mary’s Catholic Church watching the fight.

Finally, a man wearing a red vest waves his hands, gesturing in an apparent effort to stop the others from further beating the prone man.

“We have identified the victim, who is in the hospital,” Craig said. “Now, we’re trying to ID the suspects. There’s more video to look at; it’s Greektown, so there’s lots of surveillance video to go through.”

The victim’s condition was not known Sunday.
