CPD arrested 2 after people were seen stomping and dancing on cars near the Chicago Belmont Red Line stop in Lakeview.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- People were seen stomping and dancing on cars Monday night into Tuesday morning in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood.
The scene unfolded near the Belmont Red Line stop. Belmont Avenue was shut down for hours as hundreds blocked the street.
"I came out of my show, and I looked down the street, and there was just a mob," said Dominic Rescigno, whose car was damaged.
Rescigno was performing improv at a nearby theatre, when he saw the large crowds begin to gather around 9:30 p.m., preventing him from reaching his car.
