Bears Fan Suffers 9 Stab Wounds To His Back Outside Soldier Field


A Chicago Bears fans was stabbed nine times in the back in a parking lot outside Soldier Field following the Thursday night football game against the Dallas Cowboy. According to the Chicago Tribune, a Chicago police report said a fight broke out at 10:45 p.m. on East 18th Street, where one Chicago Bears fan received nine knife wounds to his back and another Bears fan suffered a right shoulder puncture wound.

It all started when four men started yelling at two Oak Lawn men.

“The Bears suck!”

The police reports described more.

“The victims yelled back ‘Cowboys suck!'”

A member of the group of Cowboys fans threw beer in the face of the unidentified Bears fan. The police report said the Cowboys fans jumped on the Bears fans, and a 22-year-old man was stabbed in the back nine times with an unknown object.

The Bears fan who received nine stab wounds to his back didn’t want to be identified.

“I was saying the Packers are awesome this year, why can’t I be born a Packers fan?”

His comment drew the attention of another man in the parking lot, who rushed forward to the Bears fan.

“I went to go shake hands but as soon as I did, his buddy came up and threw beer at my head. Beer got in my eyes and blinded me. Then everything went downhill. I was trying to defend myself and run away. I was running away, I remember.”

The Bears fan thinks he was cut when he was stumbling and trying to see.

When asked about how he believes he received the nine stab wounds, he replied, “It was probably a knife because the cuts were so clean.”

The other Bears fan, 21, suffered a puncture wound near his upper right shoulder. Both men were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where police said the 22-year-old Bears fan’s condition was stabilized, and the 21-year-old Bears fan was in fair condition.

According to WGN, the attackers fled the scene of the crime in a maroon or red car, possibly a Protégé or Mitsubishi Mirage. In addition, everyone involved appeared to have been drinking alcohol.

The Bears fan disputes the police report about the attackers yelling that the Bears suck.

“I think they had to be Bears fans.”

The man didn’t know he was stabbed until he started feeling soreness in his back and expressed his concern to the paramedics while on their way to the hospital in an ambulance. The paramedics found the stab wounds.

“My back didn’t feel good and it was all red.”

Both Bear fans, friends from high school, were in a state of shock. However, they found the near death experience amusing.

“We were texting each other back and forth even at the hospital. We weren’t really that bad, I was laughing the whole time I was in the ambulance and in the hospital.”

Maybe their state of shock caused them to laugh about the unfortunate incident. Nonetheless, one Bears fan dodged the bullet, while the other appears to have nine lives.
