Gangbangers yell, make hand gestures at man

March 5, 2007, 11:55 PM
A report came in of a man being chased by a vehicle. Officers were dispatched to the 7-11 at 16th and East, where the victim, a 42-year-old Berwyn man, reported he was walking home when a tan four-door car, possibly a Chevy Impala or Pontiac Gran Prix, pulled alongside him. The car contained four Hispanic males who yelled gang slogans and flashed gang signs at the man, who said some of their hand-waving involved "throwing down" gang handsigns; this indicated the men represented some rival gang. The man said he then ran into 7-11 and called police. Police drove him home for safety, but saw no vehicle matching his description.
