Man Injured In Single Punch Attack by Alleged Gang Member: Prosecutor

Christopher Jablonski, 19 | Cook County Sheriff

A Latin King gang member injured a man with a single punch during a parking lot altercation, prosecutors said in court on Tuesday.

Christopher Jablonski, 19, appeared before Cook County Judge Peter Felice on a charge of aggravated battery with great bodily harm.

Prosecutors said the man parked his vehicle when a group of Latin King gang members pulled up next to him around 7:15 p.m. Oct. 10 in a Hodgkins parking lot. An argument started between the man and “group of male subjects.”

Jablonski allegedly struck the man with a closed fist. The man was treated for a concussion, broken nose, contusions and sprained wrist, according to the charges.

In addition to the latest charge, prosecutors said that Jablonski was charged with three misdemeanors and one felony all in 2015.

Bail was set for $100,000. Jablonski’s next court appearance is Nov. 10.
