At least two Chicago police cars were heavily damaged by rowdy crowds along Halsted Street during this afternoon’s Pride Parade. @runningwithcf sent these photos out on Twitter, showing a huge crowd swarming an unattended squad car at Halsted and Aldine around 2:30PM.

Another squad car was similarly manhandled a block north at Halsted and Buckingham.

One arrest was made for criminal damage to city property in connection with the Aldine incident. (Case HX323835)

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.
