Crowds of people threw rocks and fireworks at Chicago police officers while others climbed onto occupied CPD squad cars as cops responded to disturbances on the city’s northwest and southwest sides overnight. Two officers received minor injuries, and three patrol cars were damaged, according to CPD reports.
No arrests were made, police said.
The first incident occurred in the 4000 block of North Milwaukee in Portage Park around 2:27 a.m. A 35-year-old officer was responding to a call of drag racers blocking the street when an object struck his windshield, causing it to shatter. The officer, who has been on the force for about ten years, stopped his car.
