Officer injured after crowd attacks CPD squad cars in Portage Park

CHICAGO (CBS) – A rowdy group attacked Chicago police officers on the city's Northwest Side overnight.

Video sent to us by a viewer shows a rowdy crowd attacking the squad cars of Chicago police in Portage Park - right at the Six Corners intersection.

No arrests have been made.
