Victim Hospitalized After Severe Beating By Four Men

A 26-year-old Niles woman reported on Aug. 19 that two men who were named in an order of protection violated that order by throwing bottles at her residence.

The two men were still at large on Aug. 24 when they, and two other men, allegedly severely beat a 23-year-old Berwyn man in Niles.

Jesus Terrazas, 22, of Des Plaines and Rene Garibay, 18, of Niles were charged with violating an order of protection.

The two of them, as well as Alfredo Terrazas and Juan Terrazas, were charged with armed violence, a Class 2 felony, aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony and mob action, a Class 4 felony in the beating case.

Police took all four men into custody on Aug. 25. 

The Berwyn man told police he had been visiting with some old friends on Aug. 24 near a townhome in the 9000 block of Clifton, Niles. They were near Dempster and Grand when the four men drove by and spotted him. They began chasing him and throwing bricks and bottles at him, he said, then beat, punched and kicked him. 

A bystander took him to the hospital, where he learned he had a broken jaw, which was wired shut, as well as lacerations and cuts. He identified the four subjects from a photo array. 

The alleged perpetrators had a court date Monday for the mob action, aggravated battery and armed violence charges. Garibay and Jesus Terrazas have a court date Sept. 12 in the Skokie branch of the Cook County courts for the violation of an order of protection charge.
