Location:
2800 N. Kilpatrick Ave.
Allegations:
While driving home from work, Khaled and Khrawish stopped near Diversey Avenue and Kilpatrick Street to enjoy Mexican Independence Day festivities in the neighborhood. While walking back to their car, police came up, slammed them to the hood of the car, handcuffed and arrested them, and took them to a police station. The officers parked behind the station, where they punched Khaled and Khrawish in the face and body numerous times and questioned them about their nationality; both Khaled and Khrawish are U.S. citizens. Once inside the police station, officers told Khaled and Khrawish that they would have to wait till the next day to get medical attention and gave them wet napkins to clean themselves with before they were locked up. Khrawish was later treated for back and neck spasms. Both men were charged with obstructing traffic, but the charges were later dropped.
