Chicago: A disturbing video circulated on social media showing a young Chicago man apparently tied up and being assaulted by four people. Chicago police said they had arrested the suspects seen on the Facebook Live video attacking and taunting the duct-taped man, while yelling racially charged obscenities.
The man, who was described as mentally disabled, was taken by the suspects from a Chicago suburb to an area in the southwestern side of the city, and was with them for 24 to 48 hours, police said.
One of the suspects was a school acquaintance of the victim, according to police. The suspects, who are black, and the victim, who is white, were said to be over 18 years old. The victim can be seen squatting in a corner with his mouth duct-taped, and his hands and legs apparently tied up. His clothes are partially cut at one point, he is threatened repeatedly, and a part of his hair is cut down to his scalp causing a bleeding wound. Authorities said the victim has been released from a hospital.
