DETROIT – Detroit police Chief James Craig said two of the "most violent" suspects involved in a brawl this past weekend in Greektown have been arrested.
The violent street fight was captured on cellphone video early Sunday morning. The video shows a man laying motionless on the curb at St. Antoine Street and Monroe Avenue as the brawl continued around him. He was struck multiple times.
Witnesses captured the video, but no one called police. Police said they did not know about the fight until they were told about the video people were finding on Facebook.
UPDATE: A 3rd person from Warren is in custody
All suspects from Inkster
Craig said Tuesday officers have been looking for eight people, all of whom are from the city of Inkster. Two are in custody now, the chief said, and officers are actively looking for the other six. He is urging them to come forward.
"We know who you are. We're going to find you, and we're going to arrest you," he said.
Craig said the two individuals in custody are the ones shown on video kicking a victim as he was laying motionless. One of them took something from the man's pocket, Craig said.
He stressed people shouldn't think they can come to Detroit and act like this.
"You don't get to come to Detroit and engage in that kind of behavior. We have eyes everywhere ... so if you're watching this, do yourself a favor and simply turn yourself in," he said.
The chief said this doesn't appear to be gang-related or anything like that. "I have no idea" what motivated this, he said.
"That should have never happened," the chief said. "It's foolishness."
The man shown laying motionless on the curb is expected to recover from his injuries. Craig said "cowards from Inkster" decided to attack the man for no apparent reason.
Charges are pending.

As for the witnesses who recorded the fight video, Craig said he doesn't understand how someone wouldn't try to help.
"It's mind-boggling to me that you see a crime in progress and instead of stopping it, assisting, calling police, you're busy trying to get a 'star' video or the most views on Facebook Live. It's ridiculous. And, yes, the footage does help us in most instances, when we get it, but I would rather your moral compass kicks in and says 'let's do the right thing' ... contact police," he said.
