Violence at Center on Halsted

Written By Chicago News Report on Monday, July 23, 2012 | 7/23/2012 11:03:00 AM

Monday, police were called to a LGBT community center in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.

Shortly after 10:30 a.m., someone, presumably an employee, reported a battery at Center on Halsted, 3656 North Halsted Street, near Halsted and Waveland.

According to police dispatch, a black male and a black female were fighting inside the community center… and both parties were demanding to see the police.

As of 11 a.m., it was still unclear if any arrests were made.

Here's an update from one of our readers:

"A black dude was just arrested in front of the CoH by CPD.

Two SUVs were on the scene out front, and a CoH representative with a long gray pony tail was also there (he seemed to have called the police).

The black dude was arrested for some sort of assault. I see this black guy hanging around the center all day every day. A large group of center kids take over the patio seating at kit kat club during the day. This dude hangs with them.

The arrest was @10:35AM 7/23/2012 right in front of the Halsted/Waveland CoH entry foyer."
