A Wisconsin man is facing felony charges after a confrontation turned violent in a Gold Coast bar, leaving another man critically injured, FOX 32 Chicago reports. The incident unfolded in the early hours of Sunday morning, with police responding to a disturbance in a bar located on the first block of West Division Street.
Pedram Sadeghi, 24, of Mequon, Wisconsin is the man charged; after an argument escalated, he allegedly used a glass as a weapon against a 27-year-old man causing a serious laceration to his neck, this altercation began as a mere exchange of words, according to Chicago police. As a result of the scuffle, the injured man was taken in critical condition to Northwestern Hospital – a detail shared by both Your London Calling and FOX 32 Chicago.
Sadeghi was arrested on the spot, with the authorities charging him with one count of aggravated battery, a criminal offense that carries significant weight, the detention hearing, which is set for Tuesday promises to deliver both consequences and perhaps, a glimpse into the events that led to such a dangerous confrontation.
