Summary
Multiple suspects were arrested in Brighton Park after police said they attacked a CBS News Chicago reporter and photographer near Adler Planetarium on Monday afternoon, then fled.
Police said the men arrived in a white truck around 4:25 p.m., shouted racial slurs, ordered a dog to attack a 54-year-old journalist, and then smashed a camera and the news truck’s windshield when the dog did not attack.
The two journalists escaped unharmed, while the arrests followed a police chase that also involved a gun being pointed at another person, according to the report.
CBS called the attack “shocked and horrified,” and the incident remains under investigation as Chicago faces broader scrutiny over violent crime.
