I stole this from the Chicago Sun-Times. This really hurts that, "Everyone drinks responsibly in Wrigleyville" adage.
Drunken bar patron charged with punching paramedic
An Edgewater neighborhood man originally from Ireland is scheduled to appear in court later Monday after being charged with punching a paramedic in the face during a drunken disturbance at a Wrigleyville bar late Saturday, police said.
Anthony O’Sullivan, 35, of the 6100 block of North Winthrop Avenue and who was born in Ireland, was charged with aggravated battery to first aid personnel, a felony, according to a police report. He is expected to appear in bond court later Monday.
O’Sullivan was arrested at 12:05 a.m. Sunday outside the Irish Oak, 3511 N. Clark St. after police officers responded to a call of a drunken disturbance, according to the report.
A bar employee told police while he was attempting to escort O’Sullivan out of the bar, O’Sullivan allegedly struck him in the face with a closed fist. The employee then hit O’Sullivan in the chest in self-defense, causing him to fall on the ground and hit his head, according to the report.
While inside Chicago Fire Department ambulance 31 being treated O’Sullivan allegedly used his right fist to strike a paramedic below the medic’s right eye, causing abrasions and swelling. O’Sullivan was placed into custody and was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center for treatment.
The paramedic and the tavern employee refused medical treatment. Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
