A shocking video shows two men locked in a brawl outside a Trump rally in Ohio while the President held a rally inside. The fight broke out on the corner of East Pete Rose Way and Broadway in Cincinnati last night. The man in the blue T-shirt stumbles backwards as he tries to defend himself from the onslaught of punches.
Cincinnati police officers immediately intervened and detained the man in the green T-shirt.
As he was led away by police, the onlooking crowd began chanting: 'Lock him up, lock him up,' echoing Trump supporters' rally cries regarding Hillary Clinton.
According to Cincinnati police, the perpetrator who has been named as Dallas Frazier, 29, has since been arrested for assault. He is being booked at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Last night, Trump held his first rally since his audience chanted 'Send her back!' about a Somali-born congresswoman during a July rally in North Carolina.
Cincinnati's crowd offered their fair share of boos, cheers, 'USA,' 'Build the wall,' and even, at one point, returned to the 2016 campaign chant regarding Hillary Clinton - 'lock her up.'
But they didn't go as far as the supporters at Trump's last outing. The president told the crowd he wanted 'no controversy.'
'We want no controversy,' he said as the arena cheered his words.Trump attacked a multitude of topics during his speech - the Democratic presidential field, former President Barack Obama, healthcare, Hillary Clinton, Democrats' immigration policy, and former Special Counselor Robert Mueller to name a few.
He got in some cryptic hits at the 'squad' - the four minority Democratic lawmakers Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar - and at Congressman Elijah Cummings.
He didn't mention any of them name after he has bluntly attacked them in the past month. But he did get in a knock at 'four left-wing extremists' - which was seen as directed at the 'squad.'
'The Democratic Party is now being led by four left-wing extremists who reject everything that we hold dear,' he said.
He then went on to argue America's cities have paid a price for the liberal left, a likely reference to Elijah Cummings, who chairs the Oversight panel investigating Trump and his administration.
Cummings and his hometown of Baltimore have been in the president's crosshairs in the past week.
The president was interrupted by protesters twice during his nearly 80 minutes of remarks.
