Berwyn Police Blotter
Cops called to knife fight; bleeding man says he “fell on a bottle”
August 9th, 2008, 1:42 AM
Dispatchers sent police to the area of Cermak and East on reports of a street disturbance involving four men—one with a knife. Officers at East and Vacin saw three men yelling. One—a 22-year-old resident of the 3600 block of Scoville—was bleeding from his right arm, so an ambulance was summoned. When asked about the injury, the man stated he was not in a fight, he just tripped and “fell on a bottle”. Police asked him where the alleged tripping/falling occurred. The man said he was hurt outside Berwyn while drinking. He was treated and released; also released was a 22-year-old man from the 3500 block of Ridgeland. The third man, Carlos Arce, was taken into custody because he had an active Berwyn arrest warrant for driving on a suspended license.
