Police responded to citizen calls of a “crazy man” walking through lanes of heavy traffic near the intersection of Belmont and Sheffield. Officers arrived and quickly determined that:

(a) he was a 32 year old white male who lives nearby

(b) the man appeared to be extremely intoxicated and

(c) he had an enormous amount of blood flowing from his head

The man became highly combative with paramedics, so officers rode along as Ambulance 81 transported the gentleman to Illinois Masonic for repairs.

CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings. Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
