Motorists were accosted by groups. A group of about 50 young people on West Thrush Avenue near North
Sheridan Road in June caused a disturbance by blocking the roadway and,
according to one resident but not others, shouting race-related remarks. Comments related to race also were part of one of the incidents last week.
A Meals on Wheels delivery driver was making his way to a home when he
encountered a group walking
down the middle of the road. As he exited
to take the food to the door, he was verbally attacked, according to a
report on the incident. One teen called him "honky," while another threatened to "kick his white (expletive)." As the volunteer driver returned to his car to leave, the teens
surrounded his car and pounded on it.
A woman driving on Saturday night
was the subject of a similar, but much more aggressive confrontation.
She encountered a group of more than 40 teens. The group surrounded the woman's car and began beating on
it with an object that shattered her driver's side window. One of the
boys involved in the attack also pointed a handgun in the direction of a
passenger in the car.
When police responded, the group scattered in different directions. No arrests were made.
