Detectives today released surveillance photographs of one of two men who beat and seriously injured a cabbie on the Near West Side early this year after he had driven them about a mile from where he picked them up.
The driver, age 26, suffered head injuries, two broken teeth and a swollen eye after he was beaten by two men in the 200 block of North Des Plaines Street about 3:30 a.m. Jan. 20, police said.
Area Central detectives are asking for the public's help in finding the two attackers and today released the two photos from inside the cab in hopes of finding someone who knows them, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
The cab driver picked up five people, three women and two men, near Kinzie and Dearborn streets, and drove them to near Lake and Des Plaines streets, where he dropped off the three women, police said. The two men stayed in the cab, and when the driver asked them where they would like to be taken, they said nothing but instead began attacking him and broke a piece of equipment in the cab.
