Despite originally reporting a brutal attack on a white male by multiple African American males as "anti-white," police have now backed away from that assessment, saying the incident was not racially motivated.

After a video (below) was posted on Facebook showing the aftermath of the attack involving 27-year-old Christopher McKnight, a new video (above) has surfaced that captures most of the fight itself. InfoWars provides some details:

The altercation began in Fountain Square on Saturday night at around 11pm shortly after a music concert and 4th of July fireworks.

The video shows several black teens punching and choking 27-year-old Christopher McKnight, while another individual wearing a red t-shirt appears to be attempting to deter the attackers.

McKnight suffered serious internal injuries and was taken to hospital. Riot police later arrived on the scene and arrested seven young men. Two officers and a bystander were injured during the unrest.

The initial police report obtained by InfoWars listed the incident as an "anti-white" assault:

​Though police initially said they were investigating it as a hate-crime, Cincinnati Police Captain Mike Nevill backed away from that angle, announcing at a press conference that the attack was not racially motivated.

InfoWars notes that "many are citing the incident as another example of black on white violent crime that has largely been ignored by the mass media, arguing that if the roles were reversed and it was a white mob beating up a black man, the story would be a national issue."
