Greektown brawl: 4 in custody, 4 more wanted by Detroit police

Police identify 4 men still wanted in connection with brawl

DETROIT – Detroit police said four men have been arrested in connection with the Greektown brawl that was captured on video last weekend, but officials are still searching for four more men.

Keith Harvey, 26, of Detroit, and Stanley Faulk, 23, of Inkster, were both charged Wednesday with unarmed robbery, assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felonious assault.

The violent street fight was captured on cellphone video early Sunday morning. The video shows a 23-year-old Detroit man lying motionless on the curb at St. Antoine Street and Monroe Avenue as the brawl continued around him. He was struck multiple times. The prosecutor's office said the victim's property was stolen during the incident.

A third man was taken into custody Tuesday night in Warren.

Craig says suspects are from Inkster

Craig said Tuesday officers had been looking for eight people. He made a point of saying all of the suspects are from the city of Inkster.

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 lying 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.

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.

Harvey and Faulk arraigned

Harvey and Faulk, both of Inkster, are charged with unarmed robbery, assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felonious assault.

Harvey is also charged with possession of cocaine.

Faulk had previously been convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and felonious assault. Harvey had been previously been convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and fleeing and eluding.

Bond was set at $5 million for each defendant.
