Officials are describing a chaotic scene after four men were seriously injured in a brawl outside of a Chicago restaurant over the weekend.
A lawyer for one of the suspects says his client was defending himself in the brawl, which led to felony charges against four individuals
“There was a group of men in the bar and restaurant, and they were being unruly, being verbally abusive to staff,” he said. “Mr. Barraco was struck in the head and fell to the ground, where he had significant head trauma,” Mike Cummings, owner of nearby McNally’s, said. The suspects in the case have been released from custody, with their next court date set for July 1. Under terms of their pretrial release, they are not allowed to contact any of the victims or anyone that works at the restaurant.
