Less than a week after the violent brawl that resulted in the death of 16-year-old Derrion Albert, another violent teen beating happened last night, this time in the Edgwater neighborhood. According to the Tribune:

A witness told police they saw the victim being chased by three males about 7:45 p.m. on the 6300 block of North Paulina Street, Chicago Police Lt. Paul Kusinski said.

After the three assailants caught up with the victim, all three beat him, and one reportedly struck him over the head using some type of "shiny" object, Kusinski said.

A witness to the attack also told the Tribune, "He was covered in blood. Blood was all over the street. It was all over his face, arms, and coming from the back of his head." The 14-year-old victim was listed in critical condition this morning at Childrens Memorial Hospital with a fractured skull and undergoing surgery.
