Four men who got out of a white stretch limo in Wrigleyville and began beating people were filming a rap video and had been taunted by passersby, including with racial slurs, their relatives said Monday.
Prosecutors, however, contend the four men began beating people “for no apparent reason.” One of the victims had his jaw broken in the melee, police said.
Relatives of the men claim the video being shot by the men will prove the case that they were being taunted. One relative claimed someone grabbed one of the men before the beatings. The men had borrowed the white limo from a friend to film the video — and had chosen Wrigleyville for a “celebratory shot.”
The four were charged early Monday with the beatings that left four injured — including a police officer.
We can hardly wait for the Taste mayhem.
