Dayton fire crews responded to the Premier Health building on the 100 block of North Main Street on a commercial fire alarm around 5 p.m.
When they arrived, they witnessed an assault taking place.
A signal “99″ or a call for additional assistance was announced shortly after 5 p.m., a Montgomery County dispatch supervisor confirmed.
This prompted multiple law enforcement departments and emergency services to rush to the scene.
News Center 7′s Malik Patterson was on the scene and reported that about five fire trucks, six ambulances, and a couple dozen police cruisers were there.
Thomas said a firefighter or medic was not injured in this altercation, despite previous reports.

News Center 7 reached out and went to the fire department that responded first to see if they could provide any information on who was injured but got no response.
Officers with the Dayton Police Department took a male into custody, Thomas said.
The male was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
“We have 2 individuals that were injured, and both were removed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” Thomas said.
News Center 7 could not get any specifics on the second person who was injured.
The Dayton Police Department Investigations Division will be handling the ongoing investigation.
News Center 7 is working to learn more information about who was injured and what charges the male could face.
