Written By Chicago News Report on Thursday, July 12, 2012 | 7/12/2012 09:02:00 PM

At least one person was injured during a suspected gang fight in Chicago’s Arcadia Terrace neighborhood... an enclave in the city’s larger West Ridge, West Rogers park community.

Around 8:23 p.m., a 911 caller reported a brawl in an alley near Hollywood and Western Avenues.

According to police dispatch, the complainant said Latin King gang members were battling a rival gang and at least one car window was broken during the melee.

When authorities arrived, they determined the incident actually occurred in a west alley behind 5625 North Artesian Avenue, between Hollywood and Bryn Mawr. 

One participant in the fight sustained a “bloody head-wound”, said an officer at the scene.

An ambulance and at least one paddy wagon was called to the location.
