Sunday 7 July 2013 2:58AM Chicago Police Department Case #: No report taken.
A witness flagged down officers on patrol outside of Big City Tap, 1010 W. Belmont, to report seeing a 20-year-old man getting beaten with a baseball bat. 911 handled a call about a similar incident around the same time. No victim was found. Officers may have found the victim later when Illinois Masonic Medical Center notified police that a battery victim came in with significant injuries suffered around 3AM.
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.
