Four suburban men face multiple charges of aggravated battery for an attack on four other men early Sunday morning outside a Mount Greenwood restaurant.
Officers responded at 1:40 a.m., Sunday at Barraco’s Ristorante in the 3000 block of West 111th Street, where multiple men were in a verbal and physical altercation, police said.
Police charged Andrew Fedyk, 20, of La Grange Park, Frank Paris, 20, of River Forest, Harry Kenny, 20, of Glen Ellyn, and John Powers IV, 20, of Oak Park with aggravated battery in a public place, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and aggravated battery of a victim over 60, according to a news release.
Fedyk faces an additional charge for use of a false identification card, Paris faces a felony charge for robbery and Powers IV faces a felony count for aggravated battery with strangling.
The men battered four men, ages 20, 28, 45 and 61, police said.
Police said the four suspects fled but were arrested between 1:45 a.m. and 2:22 a.m. in the 11200 block of South Whipple, the 3000 block of West 111th Street and the 11100 block of South Albany, police said.
The 61-year-old victim suffered a serious head injury and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said.
Ald. Matt O’Shea, 19th Ward, said the altercation happened after the four men were asked to leave and were escorted out of the restaurant.
“They attacked and beat an employee of the restaurant, striking him multiple times, leaving him bleeding on the sidewalk,” O’Shea said.
O’Shea said the men were to appear Tuesday at the Cook County Criminal Court Building for a hearing.
“The community’s outraged, and we’re just asking for our neighborhood to do what it always does, to support the family, support the business and keep the victim in their thoughts and prayers as hopefully they can make a full recovery,” O’Shea said.
