Police detained dozens of people, mostly juveniles, during a “large group” incident in the Loop on Fourth of July evening, according to police and sources. Most of the juveniles were taken in for curfew violations, but other arrestees are expected to face charges such as battery, reckless conduct, and battery of police.
At least two police officers were injured during the hours-long disturbance, according to a police statement. A source told CWBChicago that one officer had lost his hearing after a large firework exploded near his head.
