Chicago – civil servants sued a man last year for the violent attacks of a restaurant employee in Chinatown and fired a man during a separate incident in the neighborhood last week. Prosecutors did not ask a judge to hold the man, 37-year-old Juan Madrigal, so he was sent home on a single monitor.
The woman was reportedly attacked on 28 June 2024 in Happy Lamb Pot, 2312 South Wentworth. A police report in Chicago said it started when a woman who went to high school with the victim caused a malfunction in the eatery. The situation escalated and Madrigal would have inserted into the fight, which was caught on video.
A CPD report said that he hit the 20-year-old victim and jumped on her head and stamped “making her unconscious for several minutes.” Madrigal and the other woman fled when people from the back of the restaurant came to help their colleague, according to the report.
Civil servants provided an order for the arrest of Madrigal in that case last year, but he was only recently taken in custody to face allegations. The arrest came after a new attack on 26 February.
In the second incident, Madrigal is accused of hitting a 41-year-old man in the head and put him in the back with a knife in the 2400 block of South Wentworth, according to the court.
He is accused of aggravated battery in a public place and a crime battery. Right Antara Rivera issued the electronic monitoring order.
