Several police officers were injured when a driver slammed into a crowd at a ‘teen takeover’ in Chicago this weekend.
The harrowing incident unfolded at around 3:20 a.m. on Sunday in the Little Italy neighborhood of the Windy City, Fox 32 reports.
Chicago Police Department (CPD) officers were attempting to manage chaos after roughly 500 ‘youths’ gathered for a ‘block party’ when a sedan traveling in the wrong direction plowed into them.
The vehicle also struck a police cruiser, hopped a curb, and crashed into a fence before stopping.
An 18-year-old driver was quickly arrested and a firearm was located inside the sedan.
“He just hit a lot of police officers. This car just ran through a whole crowd of Chicago police officers while they were clearing out this block party,” a witness can be heard saying in footage apparently shot moments after the crash.
Five officers were taken to local hospitals in fair condition, CPD said.
Local reporters say they also heard gunshots near the scene of the collision.
Charges against the suspect are reportedly pending.
We have been documenting the growing trend of ‘teen takeovers’ — inorganic gatherings of juveniles and young adults that often devolve into violence, destruction, and lawlessness.

“Five officers were taken to local hospitals in fair condition, CPD said.”
Notice how injured police officers always get to go to the hospitals that aren’t in a run-down condition? They were taken to hospitals that are in fair condition, while the rest of us low lifes get the hospitals with the leaky water pipes and crumbling infrastructure.
Dont block a road.

Spelling…. yours sucks! *Popeye’s” (1 word) – “Watermelon” (1 word, 1 letter L) – “Liquor”

She nailed it, and YOU just stepped in it, clown.
That post speaks volumes – you ask “Is this english class?” because you probably skipped ’em all. You wouldn’t know “English class” if one bit you in the ass.
Pro Tip: It’s not cute to be illiterate.
People don’t know that you are British and spell some words differently.
Pefect grammer using Ebonics.
Relax. It was a joke, not an entrance exam. You’re out here grading grammar like it’s the only class you ever passed, and even that’s debatable. If you’re gonna strut around acting superior, at least try not to trip over your own ego on the way in.
Pro Tip: Nobody’s impressed by a hall monitor with a spell‑check fetish.
