A brawl that took place in downtown Winston-Salem last night was caught on video by a citizen with their cell phone. It appears that several young men (white and African American in spite of the title of the Youtube post) were involved in a violent brawl on the corner of Cherry and 4th St around 2am. (video link below)

UPDATE:

On Sunday morning at approximately 2:10am, patrol officers with the WSPD’s Downtown Bike Patrol self-dispatched to a loud disturbance near West Fourth Street and N. Cherry Street. When officers arrived, they found 22 year-old Michael Huffman of Trinity, NC cursing and yelling in the street. Huffman was taken into custody for Disorderly Conduct when he refused to stop his behavior. A large crowd was around Huffman at the time but no other crime was reported or observed.

Several hours later, Downtown Bike Patrol officers were made aware of a video that showed the brawl that occurred before police responded to the disturbance involving Huffman. A second video of the same affray was located on a social media website a short time later.

Three individuals were identified as being involved in the fight. Huffman, 20 year-old Patrick McGee of Advance, and 23 year-old Emilio Morgan of Thomasville. There were three other individuals involved that have not been identified aas of this posting. The three identified individuals were charged with disorderly conduct. The investigation is continuing.

Anyone with information about the reported incident is asked to contact the Winston-Salem Police Department or CrimeStoppers at 336/727-2800.
