A Cicero man is facing a felony charge after police said he pulled a chunk of a female officer’s hair out by its roots, leaving an “unsightly bald spot” after a recent Cubs game, according to court records.

19th district officers say they saw David M. Ellis and another man pushing each other on a crowded sidewalk outside of the Cubby Bear at Clark and Addison around 7:15PM on Sunday. One officer stepped between Ellis and the other man and began to push them apart when they failed to follow officers’ orders to stop, police said.
That’s when Ellis “grabbed a fistful of [the officer’s] hair, yanking it out,” the cops’ report says. The female cop also suffered a bent fingernail and a bruised leg as she fought back with “several closed fist strikes and elbow strikes.”
A second officer “performed an emergency takedown of Ellis and placed him in custody,” according to the report.
The injured cop declined medical attention despite having “an unsightly bald spot on top of her head” after having a chunk of “hair pulled out by its root,” officers said.
