1 injured in West Rogers Park ‘gang fight’

At least one person was injured during a suspected gang fight in Chicago’s Arcadia Terrace neighborhood... an enclave in the city’s larger West Ridge, West Rogers park community.

Around 8:23 p.m., a 911 caller reported a brawl in an alley near Hollywood and Western Avenues.

According to police dispatch, the complainant said Latin King gang members were battling a rival gang and at least one car window was broken during the melee.

When authorities arrived, they determined the incident actually occurred in a west alley behind 5625 North Artesian Avenue, between Hollywood and Bryn Mawr. 

One participant in the fight sustained a “bloody head-wound”, said an officer at the scene.

An ambulance and at least one paddy wagon was called to the location.

  1. That area isn't part of West Rogers Park/West Ridge.
    It's more like the north end of Budlong Woods.

    And why do the damned captchas get even more incomprehensible all the time?

  2. I used to live on that block up until about 1983. When I realized there were only a handful of buildings left on the street that were being kept up (mowed lawns, clean windows, etc.)I knew it was time to move. The house I used to live in looks like a flop house now and it used to be the prettiest house on the street - or so I was told.
