CHICAGO – A man is in critical condition after being cut in the neck during a fight at a Gold Coast bar. Police question a second man.
Just after midnight on Sunday, officers responded to calls of a person stabbed at a bar in the first block of West Division Street, according to CPD records. Officers found a 27-year-old man whose neck had been cut. A second man, 24, had a cut on his hand, police said.
The more seriously injured man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Detectives took the man with the injured hand to Area Three headquarters for an interview.
In a statement, CPD said the two men were involved in an argument when the younger man hit the older man with a glass cup that shattered.
CWBChicago will post an update if the charges are approved.
