Police Release Images After Security Guard Attacked In Gold Coast

CHICAGO — After a video was released earlier this week of a security guard being attacked, Chicago police released surveillance images of two people who they would like to question. The cell phone video was taken from inside the McDonald's at 10 East Chicago Avenue on April 7 in the Gold Coast neighborhood.

Police are hoping to identify and locate the men in the surveillance images.

At about 3:17 p.m. last Sunday, police said two people went into the McDonald's and became disruptive to customers and employees.

The cell phone video shows the two people attacking the security guard and slamming him against the restaurant wall. One of the attackers then picks up what appears to be pepper spray, and the guard frees himself and pulls out a gun. The guard points his gun at the attackers and they run away.

One of the people police are looking for is described as 5'8"-6' with long braids. He was wearing a long-sleeve army green pullover hooded sweatshirt and army green pants with black or dark -colored shoes. The other person is described as 5'7"-6' with short hair twists. He was wearing a tell-w/gold and maroon jacket with black or dark-colored pants and red gym shoes, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Area Central detectives at (312) 747-8390.
