DOCUMENTING CHICAGO'S LAKE & HALSTED NEIGHBORHOOD: Providing random views of the local nightlife, from LAKEandHALSTED.com

6/22/08: When SHADOW BAR closes at 3:00 AM Sunday morning, a group of 8-10 club-goers violently beat 2 men in the street. As one man is beaten into unconsciousness (falling behind the car), SHADOW BAR security intercedes and is forced to pummel the culprits to stop them from continuing to beat the man.

Security pursues the other assailants east on Lake, then south on Halsted, where alterations occur off-camera. CHICAGO POLICE patrolling the area are summoned to the scene and several arrests are made.

Another chase occurs north on Halsted. A man is apprehended after he retrieves a tire iron from his car and attempts to retaliate and another arrest is made as one of the assailants tries to escape down Lake Street.
