1/29/06; CHROMIUM NIGHTCLUB FIGHTS & ARREST-CHICAGO

CHICAGO nightclub fighting @ Lake & Halsted from the Lake Street Lookout, LAKEandHALSTED.com

Chromium security has become lax again and the Police Officers on duty arrange Chromium's crowd control barricades. As the club exits, no one is moving the crowds along anymore and a mob congregates with several people yelling threats, intent on fighting.

A man approaches from the parking lot adjacent to Chromium and threatens the Police Officers with upheld fists. As he is subdued and arrested, several other men join the mob action in front of Chromium. Eight Chicago Police squad cars and two paddy wagons are required to bring the crowd under control.
