Nightmarish Moment Hundreds of Lawless Teens Overrun Downtown Chicago as ‘Stores Looted and Bystanders Maced’

Wild footage captured the moment hundreds of lawless Chicago teens overran the city and attacked random people in the street.

The mob was seen violently stomping a shirtless man and flying into a frenzy in videos captured during the takeover of the downtown Loop district on Wednesday night.

Several police cars were seen stationed nearby, yet they apparently failed to intervene, video showed.

Private security group Community Intelligence Unit (CIU) reported at least one teen was beaten unconscious, a number of vehicles were destroyed and several people were arrested.

The group also reported that bear mace was used during the melee, and footage showed several rioters appearing to use tasers to zap each other and innocent victims.

Chicago City Alderman Brian Hopkins announced a curfew for 10pm to help bring the chaos to a close, saying the situation got ‘out of control’.

In one clip shared to social media, an unconscious man was seen surrounded by the mob as a man with a flashlight tried to help him.

Members of the CIU said they were attending to the unconscious man and tried to ‘provide assistance and help stabilize the situation as best as possible until additional help arrived.’

It is unclear how many people were arrested amid the takeover, with footage showing several men in handcuffs being surrounded by cops to keep them away from the mob. The Daily Mail has contacted the local police for more information.

Reports also suggest some teens were caught fighting on the tracks of the Chicago subway system.

The avalanche of teens taking over the city’s downtown came as Chicago Public Schools broke for spring break this week.
