Woman sexually assaulted at Foo Fighters concert at Wrigley Field
A woman was followed into a portable bathroom and sexually assaulted at the Foo Fighters concert Sunday night at Wrigley Field, authorities said.
The assault happened about 9:30 p.m., according to police.
The woman, 23, reported that she was in line for food when a man groped her. She told police she left the line and walked to a port-a-potty and that the man entered behind her before she could lock the door and assaulted her.
The offender grabbed her neck and hit her head against the wall of the port-a-potty, according to police. She reported the incident to a nursing station, police were called and she was taken to a hospital by a private ambulance.
The man was described as white, 40 to 50 years old, 5-foot-9 with brown, thinning hair, and possibly a receding hairline. He was not in custody.
The port-a-potty was seized as evidence, according to Chicago police, and detectives were processing video.
A Chicago Cubs spokesman said the organization is cooperating with police.
"We are using every available resource to help authorities identify and apprehend the suspect and are working with CPD to address the matter quickly," Julian Green said in an emailed statement. "We are encouraging anyone who may have information to please contact police."
The Cubs will increase security at Monday night's show, according to Green.
"We are increasing security staff in the portable restroom area so we have a fixed visual presence to monitor guests going in and out of the restrooms," Green said. "Guest safety is paramount at Wrigley Field and we take every opportunity to ensure our guests' safety, including routinely reviewing our security protocols and procedures with police."
The Cubs provide security at the stadium for all games and events through a contractor.
