Four black men in their 30s were arrested for multiple random attacks in Chicago’s Wrigleyville, Lakeview neighborhood.
One incident occurred outside Exedus Lounge, 3477 North Clark Street, at Clark and Cornelia, around 1:12 a.m.
According to police dispatch reports, witnesses saw several black males jump out of a white, limousine SUV and randomly attack a white male and his girlfriend.
Subsequent reports stated a group of black males were randomly punching people on the street.
During the assaults, another male in the limo videotaped the flash-mob-style beatings, said police.
One cop at the scene described the incident as a “wilding”.
Police have charged Corey Simmons, 32; Alvin Goffin, 32; Edward Robinson, 31; and Donald Robinson, 31 in connection with the North Side mob attacks.
Four people were injured in the beatings -- one man's jaw was broken -- and an off-duty Chicago police officer also injured during the melee, said officials.
According to a Chicago Sun-Times article, the men's relatives said the suspects were shooting a rap video when several white people attacked them and assaulted them with racial slurs.
