A local doctor has been charged in connection with a confrontation that was caught on video over the weekend in Louisville's Norton Commons neighborhood.

John Rademaker, 57, of Prospect, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, according to a Louisville Metro Police statement, and charged with first-degree strangulation and three counts of harassment with physical contact.

Rademaker was released from jail later Tuesday on a personal recognizance bond, according to online court records.

As of Wednesday morning, he did not have an attorney listed in online court records, and an arraignment hearing is scheduled for May 8 in Jefferson District Court.

Rademaker, a physician with New Albany-based Southern Indiana Anesthesia Consultants (a division of One Anesthesia PLLC) was placed on leave on Monday, the organization announced, and SIAC on Thursday announced he had voluntarily resigned his position. A Baptist Health web page connected to a Dr. John Rademaker that was online on Sunday has been removed from the website in the days since the video went viral.

The eye-opening video was posted to Louisville's Reddit.com page Saturday night and showed a confrontation that had taken place a night earlier at the amphitheater at Norton Commons, an upper-class neighborhood.

The clip shows a man confronting the group, shoving three young women and grabbing the neck of another who was arguing with a woman who had arrived at the scene with the man. The man and woman left the scene immediately following the fight, witnesses told The Courier Journal, and the woman who was attacked was checked at the scene by medical personnel but did not suffer injuries that required hospitalization.

Louisville police released a redacted report Monday morning that said a man could be charged with strangulation but noted he had not yet been arrested. SAIC One Anesthesia said later Monday a physician had been suspended in connection with the video.

Three witnesses said the incident began when the man and woman confronted a group of nine teens who were watching the sunset at the Norton Commons amphitheater. It began as an argument over social distancing – the practice of keeping distance between a group of people to slow the spread of the coronavirus – before turning physical, they said.

An LMPD statement Sunday morning encouraged those concerned about social distancing to contact police.

"Obviously, we do not advise individuals concerned about social distancing to take matters into their own hands and confront people about it, especially in any physical way," LMPD spokeswoman Jessie Halladay wrote. "We ask people who are concerned about large gatherings to call 311 or 911 to report their concerns."
