Overnight, a disturbance was reported outside a fast food restaurant in Chicago's North Side Bucktown neighborhood.
According to several reliable sources, on Saturday, between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., several carloads of unruly African Americans crowded the McDonald's parking lot at 1951 North Western Avenue, near Western and Milwaukee.
"30 punks, all black kids, took over the McDonald's at Western and Milwaukee. They were honking horns and fighting in the parking lot," said an eyewitness.
We were told after calling 911 several times, only one police car responded to the scene.
"One squad car showed up for the riot. Black kids were blowing off the officers... walking like they didn't care. Some of them even went inside the McDonald's," said a customer at the Bucktown neighborhood restaurant.
A tipster, who asked to remain anonymous, said the group came from the Congress Theater, 2135 North Milwaukee Avenue.
Last night, the venue hosted Superfest 2012... an event that was heavily attended by young African Americans.
At the time of this report, a spokesperson for the Congress Theater wasn't available for comment.
