An off-duty Chicago Police officer was injured when he was allegedly bitten in the chest by a Hazel Crest man outside Gibson’s Bar and Steakhouse in the Near North Side Gold Coast neighborhood Sunday night, police said.
About 9:30 p.m. the off-duty officer became involved in a dispute with a 31-year-old man outside Gibson’s, 1028 N. Rush St., according to a police report.
Near North District officers who were already in the area saw a disturbance and a struggle, during which the officer identified himself as police but the other man continued to refuse “verbal commands,’’ and bit the officer, prompting responding officers to deploy a chemical spray at him, the report said.
The officer suffered swelling and cuts to eye along with a severe bite to the nipple. An ambulance transported the officer to Northwester Memorial Hospital where he was treated by a doctor who later said the victim lost a body part because of severe damage from the bite, according to the report.
