Chicago police tells true story
WHAT HAPPENED, ACCORDING TO CHICAGO POLICE:
The incident began on December 31, when the victim and one of the suspects, 18-year-old Jordan Hill, met at a suburban McDonald's to begin what both the victim and his parents believed would be a sleepover.
Instead, Hill drove the victim around in a stolen van for a couple of days, ending up at a home in Chicago, where two of the other suspects lived.
The victim told police what began as playful fighting escalated, and he was bound, beaten and taunted with racial slurs and disparaging comments about his mental capacity.
A downstairs neighbour who heard noises threatened to call police.
When two of the suspects left and kicked down the neighbour's door, the
victim escaped. A police officer later spotted the obviously disoriented
man wandering down a street.
The man was bloodied and wearing a tank top that was inside-out and backward. He had on jean shorts and sandals, despite freezing weather.
Later, police discovered that a live video of the attack was broadcast on Facebook by the attackers.
Video show the victim with his mouth taped shut and slumped in a corner of a room. At least two assailants are seen cutting off his sweatshirt, and others taunt him off camera.
The video shows a wound on the top of the man's head. One person pushes the man's head with his or her foot.
A red band also appears to be around the victim's hands. Authorities believe he was tied up for four to five hours.
Police said the victim is now at home in Crystal Lake and is expected to make a full recovery. His family said they had all seen the video in a brief press conference Thursday evening.
