Two more juveniles were charged with battery and referred to juvenile court, in addition to three charged last week, in the April 28 bloody beating of a Niles West High School student in a bathroom, a Skokie police report said.
“I then observed a security guard, Josh Rosas, and a student holding up student that was bleeding profusely from the face,” the officer said in the report.The bleeding student appeared unable to walk, according to the report, and was taken to the nurses’ office while the officer requested an ambulance. When the officer asked the victim how he was injured, he replied that “something happened in the bathroom,” according to the report, and he did not know who was involved.
In the report, the officer said security video showed several students run out of the bathroom and that one of the students had “visible blood on the knuckles of right hand.” The former student told police they “believed the fight today was retaliation for the broken window,” the report said.
