CINCINNATI – After being extradited from Georgia, 38-year-old Patrick Rosemond made his first court appearance Friday morning in the viral Cincinnati attack, appearing stone-faced as the prosecution said that he was the “main instigator” in the viral beatdown that left at least two victims badly beaten.
Prosecutors in the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court painted a grim picture of Rosemond, who they say is a felon who “assaulted each and every single victim” in the attack, including making a beeline for a victim identified as “HR.”
Rosemond punched the defenseless “HR,” knocking her unconscious instantly and sending her crumpling to the pavement as the mob closed in, prosecutors said. Pointing to disturbing footage, prosecutors said that Rosemond was “taunting” and dancing after launching the brutal beatdown.
Prosecutors on Friday would not comment further on the identity of “HR.” One victim was previously identified, however, as Holly, a woman who was severely injured in the attack.

When speaking about the beating in court on Friday, prosecutors said that it “almost caused her death.” She previously told Fox News Digital that the attackers swarmed her “like a pack of wolves.” She was knocked unconscious and had a concussion, and she shared that she was experiencing excruciating migraines and “memory gaps” from the night.
“He assaulted each and every single victim in a brutal to vicious fashion,” the prosecutor said. “With regards to count eight, he is the individual that knocked out HR, the female, almost causing her death. Her head hit the pavement, she was completely knocked unconscious before she even hit the ground. It is clearly captured on video.”
The 38-year-old is charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three charges of assault and two charges of aggravated rioting, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“This defendant is the one responsible for the majority of her injuries,” the prosecutor said.
Throughout the brief proceeding, the courtroom remained quiet with no crowd filling the gallery.
Rosemond appeared in a black hoodie that read, “Proud to be Hebrew.” The “Proud to be Hebrew” movement is a group that, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, believes that African Americans, and in some cases, other people of color, are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites.
