Two Stabbed Outside Near North Bars
September 24, 2012 § 1 Comment
Two men were stabbed, another badly beaten and a fourth arrested early Sunday morning after a fight on Division Street spilled over onto State Street, according to police.
An officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries that didn’t require hospitalization while trying to make the arrest on a 24-year-old man, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

Four people injured by one crazed lunatic with a knife. When is this town going to get tough on crime and demand common sense knife laws?
Hey Rahm!! On No one’s talking about banning knives. But shouldn’t we have a knife registry? What we need is a CKOC (Chicago Knife Owners Card) to make sure that only people who’d paid their fee are able to buy and carry knives. We clearly need more common sense knife laws in order to prevent another tragedy like this one.
BTW — Kudos to the police for not just shooting this idiot and sending his to his eternal rest. CPD shows incredible restraint under tough circumstances.
James,
No one is talking about taking away your steak knife or your butter knife. What we’re talking about is “assault knives” that are used by dangerous criminals in crimes against women.
I, for one, welcome our new knife overlords.
