Around 11:30 a.m., in the 1100 block of West 18th Street, an unknown man entered a family-owned business called El Trebol Liquors and Bar, and attempted to take several cases of alcohol without paying, police said. A manager confronted the offender, and a verbal fight occurred. The offender then threw an unknown object, breaking the front door, before fleeing.
The offender returned a short time later with a knife and attempted to stab the manager he argued with, police said.The manager as able to get away from the offender without injuries, and the offender fled the scene again. In a community alert Monday, the business wrote, "Yesterday our beloved family-owned business was vandalized by a man after a person in his group was denied entry to our vintage bar because they did not have the vaccination card required by the city. After breaking the glass of the front door, the man returned with a knife intending to hurt the manager. Seconds before the attack, another man in that same group had attempted to rob some liquor and was kicked out.
We are extremely concerned and disheartened by this unfortunate incident that left our employees and patrons worried for their safety. We call on other businesses in the area and the Pilsen community to stay vigilant and help keep each other- our bar- safe."The business added that it is committed to following the city’s COVID-19 mandates and is requesting valid vaccination cards before allowing entry.
I side with the vandal.
