CHICAGO, Ill. –- The Illinois State Police is investigating a mob action that occurred just before 2 a.m. on Sunday at Division Street and Elston Avenue in Chicago.
An ISP trooper was driving southbound on I-90 near Division Street and noticed congestion on the exit ramp and eastbound traffic on Division completely stopped.
ISP says when the trooper approached the intersection of Division and Elston, there were several vehicles blocking it and people were engaging in reckless driving stunts.
At that time, a mob of about 100 people began swarming the trooper’s vehicle, jumping on the hood, breaking the windshield, kicking the vehicle, and throwing rocks, bricks, and fireworks.
ISP is fully investigating the incident, including deploying crime scene evidence technicians.
