Man Found Badly Beaten, Sodomized In Loop
CHICAGO (STMW) -- A bloody man was found walking in the Loop early Saturday morning after being beaten and sodomized with a tree branch, according to police.
Shortly after midnight Saturday, someone saw the undressed man walking with a bloody face in the 800 block of South Michigan Avenue and called authorities, according to Central District Police Lt. Richard Guerrero.
The victim had severe trauma to his face and when paramedics got to the scene, they recognized him as a homeless man. He was not wearing shoes or pants, and had only one sock on.
The victim had apparently been attacked and then sodomized with a tree branch, and doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital had to remove part of the branch, which was lodged in the victim's rectum, according to the lieutenant. While his condition was not immediately known, he is expected to survive.
The victim is a white male in his 50s or older, according to the lieutenant.
No one had been arrested as of early Saturday afternoon.
Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
