Lakeview home invasion: Man beaten with brass knuckles
A Lakeview neighborhood man was savagely beaten during a home invasion on Chicago’s North Side.
The victim was leaving his apartment on the 3300 block of North Sheffield Avenue, near Sheffield and Roscoe, when three white males forced their way into his apartment, said police.
One intruder was wearing a pair of brass knuckles.
The armed assailant beat the victim in the head and face, leaving several deep cuts, said police.
According to an officer at the scene, some of the victim’s teeth were knocked out during the assault.
Somehow, the victim managed to take the brass knuckles away from his attacker; forcing the offenders to flee the scene through the apartment’s back door.
One attacker has blond hair and was last seen wearing a black leather jacket.
An ambulance took the victim to a local hospital.

The offenders flee the scene when a pair of brass knuckles was taken away? Either they are pussies or someone is lying. My guess is they fled after taking whatever they came for (most likely drugs). I have 0 evidence, but I would bet the victim was a dealer or user with a big stash.
ReplyDeleteAlso, seems like it would be hard to take brass knuckles off a clenched fist, unless there were a few broken fingers...
I agree with the first poster, something here doesn't add up.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is this is probably due to some of the underground GAY tomfoolery where drugs, and anal sex come into play. Trust me, them club gays are nuts regardless of the candy-coat they put on their rights and lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI bet the victim and criminals all know each other. I agree w/ the other posts something fishy here.
ReplyDeleteC'on people u are allowed to carry guns in your home, or at least a bat or something. The criminals know who to attack.
ReplyDeleteFYI, according to police dispatch, the victim said he does not know the offenders and has no idea why they attacked him.
ReplyDeletewell they always say they don't know who or why. but 90 percent of the time they know exactly why.
ReplyDeleteYes, 12:49 Anonymous, you are absolutely correct. Anal sex always leads to criminal activity, drugs, and people having thugs invading their homes and beating the shit out of them.
ReplyDeleteIf this blurb had said white man beaten by three black male intruders, he would have been a tragic victim, and there would be no speculation.
are you assholes kidding with this? is it enough that chicago is becoming more polarized in every respect-now we have to read this shit??? anal sex=criminal activity??? only if you criminalize anal sex. you people are seeking connections to rationalize your own bigotry. get the fuck off.
