Business owners nearby told CBS 2 that street racing is a weekly routine in the area – and it can get kind of wild, like it did Monday night.
A CBS 2 photojournalist captured the response from Chicago Police just before 10 p.m. Monday. At least two people were handcuffed, but police confirmed one of them was arrested on a felony weapons charge.
As the camera rolled, more sideshow participants pulled up – three on dirt bikes, and one on a four-wheeler. Police were just yards away as the crew circled the intersection. They called for our camera's attention as they regrouped and took off. The operator of the four-wheeler did a wheelie in the road as the group left.We asked Ald. Jason Ervin to weigh in on what happened - and any potential concerns about drag racing.A spokesperson said the alderman"takes these issues very seriously," and will coordinate with the Chicago Police Department and business leaders on how to come up with"comprehensive solutions."© 2023 CBS Broadcasting Inc.
