Chicago police are searching for a man who smashed the front door of a Rogers Park bar with a hammer in an attack that was captured on surveillance footage, and NBC 5’s Vi Nguyen has the details.“As he was using his hammer on the door, our bartender described it as being very loud,” said Carter. “People couldn’t tell if it was a gun. They ran and left out the back door which is pretty traumatic.”
The married couple have called Rogers Park home for many years and run several businesses in the area. They said this type of behavior will not be tolerated and that there is no room for hate in their neighborhood. “The outpouring from our neighbors has been amazing,” said Carter. “Our phones have been just crazy hot off the hook, people wanting to help us and sending us all the love so we feel that.”Chicago police officers were seen canvassing the area early Tuesday afternoon. Anyone with information on the attack is encouraged to contact authorities.
