Fireworks thrown at police in the Loop; second attack against CPD vehicles
CHICAGO (CBS) – Fireworks were thrown at Chicago police vehicles in the Loop early Monday morning.
The attack happened on Columbus and Wacker.
Our crew at the scene saw cars across all lanes downtown and a heavy police presence as fireworks exploded in the street.
It's unclear what led to the fireworks being set off, or if any arrests were made.

Video showed the crowd kicking and jumping on top of squad cars. One officer suffered minor injuries.
