Eight juveniles were detained Saturday night after Cincinnati police declared an increased presence in Corryville, one week after two officers were assaulted while dispersing a huge crowd in the neighborhood.
Cincinnati Police Capt. Stephen Bower stated that they do not believe the youngsters were involved in any form of takeover at this time, despite a flier circulating on social media advertising a “Hood Takeover Part. 2” in the vicinity.
Cincinnati police have announced an increased presence along Short Vine Street and East Corry Street, with SWAT and Civil Disturbance Response Team patrols.
While on patrol, authorities encountered a large group of disruptive youths and arrested some of them for violating the curfew.
“We had approximately 60 juveniles in the area that were being sort of disorderly, and there’s a special curfew in place that starts at 9 p.m. in Corryville, so at approximately 9:15 pm, we responded up there and made eight curfew arrests in the area,” Bower stated.
Police stated the increased presence was beneficial in dealing with disruptive behavior.
“We had multiple resources in place, and we’re prepared, and we want the young adults to come out and enjoy and have a good time, but the violence and the destruction we’re just not going to tolerate,” Bower stated.
Cincinnati police said they will maintain a presence in the area and continue to enforce the curfew, which was created in November 2025 and applies to any unaccompanied adolescents on Short Vine Street between Daniels Street and East Corry Street.
