From Inside Online:

Knife Fight at Men’s Hotel
Two residents of the single-room occupancy Wilson Men’s Hotel, 1124 W. Wilson, were in a knife fight June 23 at 8:04 p.m. The victim, 43, walked out of his room in the hotel and was approached by another resident, 40, June 23 at 8:04 p.m who asked him if he’d like to go smoke drugs. The man replied that he did not do drugs. After receiving this response, the man then allegedly started punching the other in the face several times. The 40-year-old stuck up his arms to block the attack.
According to the police report, the puncher “then retrieved a steak knife with a black wooden handle and proceeded to cut the victim on the left forearm, the left cheek of the facial area. Said offender also cut the victim on the victim’s nose and finger.”
The attacker was arrested and has a July 29 court date. The victim was treated and released for cuts at Weiss Hospital.

Disabled man reports rape
A 48-year-old man suffering from paranoid-schizophrenia reported he had been raped June 26 at 4 p.m. The man, who lives in a nursing home on the 800 block of W. Lawrence, was interviewed by police at Weiss Hospital. A doctor stated he examined the man and did not believe he had been sexually assaulted as there were no signs of trauma to the rectum. However, a rape kit was completed per hospital protocol. The man told a police officer that an unknown offender “tied their penis into a knot and put it into my butt.”
The officer asked who did this and the disabled man replied he did not know. He repeatedly said “they’re trying to get me.”
When asked who is trying to get him, the man did not respond. A rape victim advocate was on the scene and the man was slated to be sent back to the nursing home.

The victim told police he has known the attacker, in his 30s, for 12 years and he is a known drug user. In addition, the victim stated he had beaten up the attacker the day before.
