The night manager of Laugh Factory in Chicago’s Lake View East neighborhood was detained by federal agents Friday morning outside the comedy venue.
Around 9:20 a.m. Friday, Chicago police responded to a call of a battery in progress at West Belmont Avenue and North Broadway. Upon arrival, they “observed federal agents engaged in a physical altercation with two individuals,” police said.
Police noted a crowd had gathered in the area by the time they arrived at the scene, adding that they worked to “de-escalate and conduct crowd control to ensure all those who had gathered at the location remained safe.”
Laugh Factory: Chicago posted a video of the incident on Facebook Friday. The video shows a crowd gathering as masked agents in camouflage uniforms marked “POLICE” wrestle with two people as Chicago police officers stand nearby.
CPD said their officers did not make any arrests and left the scene once the area was cleared.
“They didn’t do anything,” a person at the scene can be heard saying on video.
“Let us see your face,” another person at the scene said.
Others at the scene demanded the federal agents tell them why the detainment was happening and where the detained would be taken.
