CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police arrested four people at North Avenue Beach late Memorial Day, and a group threw projectiles at officers afterward.
A police source told CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov that officers arrested four people after a disturbance at the beach. All four had guns, the source said.
Police then tried to disperse a crowd that had amassed amid the arrests. The crowd began throwing objects such as bottles at officers – and someone even threw a pineapple, the source said.
Officers called for a mass arrest response at the scene around 6:45 p.m.
Police did not close the beach, but no one new was allowed to enter.
