As the alleged captors cut off the man’s clothes they repeatedly call him “Donald Trump.”
Officers found a disoriented male walking down the 3400 block of West Lexington Avenue on Tuesday, Jan. 3. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Later in the afternoon, around 5:26 p.m., officers responded to a battery at a residence in the 3300 block of West Lexington, where police said they found signs of struggle and property damage. Officers were able to link the video to the disoriented man.
Police soon became aware of a social media video showing an adult male being battered and bullied, whom they believe to be the same individual.
The alleged female captor smokes what appears to be a blunt and narrates most of the action on what is believed to be a Facebook live video. The captive man is shown briefly tied up and bound with duct tape. A male captor cuts off the man’s clothing and some of his hair with a knife.
The men make references to “Donald Trump Bitch Ass.” The female comments “my baby sister doesn’t think this is funny.” In the background, another woman’s voice is heard and several male voices hooting and hollering.
Chicago police said in statement that they believe the video to be credible and are questioning several persons of interest in the case. Police also believe the captive man depicted in the video is from a neighboring suburb. He is recovering in the hospital in stable condition.
