A man whom police identified as a victim in the violent street brawl in Cincinnati that left several people injured last month has been charged, investigators said.  

The unidentified 45-year-old White man is charged with disorderly conduct, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, for his alleged role in the July 26 melee in the city’s downtown. 

Police said his status as a victim in the beating prevents them from releasing his name under Marsy’s Law, which gives crime victims the option to have their names withheld from public release.

He is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 26. 

The fight broke out in the early morning hours on the corner of Fourth and Elm streets. Footage of the brawl quickly went viral.

Last week, a seventh suspect, Gregory Wright, 32, was charged with alleged aggravated riot and aggravated robbery.

Police allege Wright “did by force rip the necklace off the victim while he was being assaulted by four or more co-defendants attempting to cause serious physical harm,” according to a criminal complaint obtained by Fox 19. 

Wright allegedly snatched the victim’s necklace during the beating before proceeding “to film the rest of the events,” the outlet reported. 

Earlier this month, six defendants were indicted by a grand jury for their alleged roles in the beatdown.
