MIDDLETOWN, OH (FOX19) - Middletown Police issued nine arrest warrants after an attack was recorded and posted to Facebook.
Avery Galliher, 19, said she was ambushed by a group of eight women and one man while inside her boyfriend's home on 15th Avenue.
A video of the assault started circulating on social media Monday and members of the public contacted Middletown Police around 4 p.m.
The video was quickly taken down, but officers were able to access it and review what happened.
Galliher claims the ex-girlfriend of her current boyfriend was among the group of suspects. She said the woman invited her to the home as a "set up."
"I think it's all due to jealousy. I didn't understand it," Galliher said. "I mean, we were friends. We've been friends for a long time. I think they just wanted to be cool."
Galliher was treated at the hospital and has since been released.
"Whenever I bend down it hurts my head and I can taste blood or something," she said.
None of the nine suspects are in police custody.
Warrants for felonious assault have been filed for the following people:
Justice Moore, 22
Jemarious White, 31
Kierra Curry, 21
