I don't know how long it took for CPD to show up, but they did show up. No arrests.

Police break up large block party near Ohio State campus; several cars flipped over
10 WBNS, 4/18

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Several cars were damaged during a large block party Saturday night near the Ohio State University campus.

Police estimated 1,000 people were in attendance of "Chittfest," a large party typically planned every year on Chittenden Avenue between North High Street and Summit Street.

CPD Commander Dennis Jeffrey said that police were aware the event was going to happen but didn't expect this many to attend. The party started to get "out of control" around 10:45 p.m. and multiple officers were sent to the scene.

Edited to add:

This news report says that police arrived at 3 a.m., "hours after the chaos started."
