People Get Socked at the Amphitheatre

If you were on the lawn during Saturday's Rascal Flatts show, you may have seen someone get jacked in the face.

The venue, 19100 S. Ridgeland St., in Tinley Park had paramedics on site to help to sooth the wounds of three young men, who said they were randomly attacked by others at the show.

A 19-year-old Manhattan man called the cops around 8:40 p.m., shortly after he was pummeled in the face in the men's washroom by a peer and the peer's younger brother. The bathroom was for concert-goers in the lawn area, police said, and the victim had a gaping cut on his chin.

Police then met an 18-year-old Oak Lawn man in the theater's first aid office. The man said he was watching the concert from the lawn around 10:15 p.m. when he was slugged in the chin by a complete stranger. Security staff saw the jaw jab but were unable to catch up with the man. The victim's face was swollen and he was taken to St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields by paramedics, according to the report.

Around the same time, an 18-year-old Willowbrook man was also watching the concert in—you guessed it—the lawn area when he began dancing with a woman he'd just met. As the two were fraternizing, an acquaintance of the man walked up and walloped him in the mouth, giving him a blood lip.

Police later contacted the third batterer, who told them to "talk to his attorney," the report said. They asked him to come to the police department. He had not been arrested as of Thursday.
