VIDEO: 'The Second Craziest Fight I've Seen In Front of the Crocodile Lounge'

Patch reader captures street fight in Wicker Park on Sunday night, where a passing homeless man's broom is grabbed for a weapon.


Patch reader Kent Parson sent in this video of a street fight in Wicker Park in front of the Crocodile Lounge at 1540 N. Milwaukee Ave. early Monday morning. Several men and a woman fought for three minutes in the street, until the cops came to break it up. 

We'll let Parson tell the story:

"So this crazy fight in front of my apartment kept me up until 2 last night. Work was fun. Luckily I got it on video from an excellent 4th floor view. Guys' girlfriend steals a mop from a passing homeless man. The guy attacks with it and gets it taken away only to be used to beat the guys friend. Another guy gets thrown into a (slow) passing car. Also someone gets thrown through a plate glass window.... This is only the 2nd craziest fight I've seen in front of the Crocodile Bar in Wicker Park...."
