- An off-duty Chicago police sergeant was seriously injured Thursday after he was robbed of his gun and beaten in a downtown parking garage, police said.
The incident happened at 3 p.m. on the 100 block of West Madison Street, police said.
The officer was beaten by several people who then robbed the officer, who was off-duty, police said. The offenders fled and are being sought.
The sergeant was off duty at the time and in civilian clothing. The robbers did not take his badge or wallet, both of which he was carrying, police said.
Police are looking for a Mercury Mountaineer that lost its bumper on the 8th floor of the parking garage.
The officer has been in-and-out of consciousness since the beating. Although he's expected to survive, the injuries have been described as life-altering.
He suffered facial fractures, a concussion and bleeding in his brain, police said.
The officer was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition. Detectives are investigating.
A Mercury Mountaineer with a missing bumper. Amazing how they describe the car but somehow manage to leave out the color. Oh, and they didn't describe any of the offenders either.
Best wishes to the sergeant on a full recovery.
