Castro, a firefighter, and his son allegedly beat up a man and took his jacket, cell phone and wallet about 4 p.m. Saturday in the 3200 block of South Aberdeen Street, a source said.

The victim suffered a broken nose, but was able to drive himself to an area hospital for treatment, police said. It wasn’t immediately clear how he identified the suspects, but both were later arrested during a scuffle with Deering District officers.

The elder Castro was also charged with resisting a police officer, according to police News Affairs. He is listed in a City of Chicago online database as a firefighter earning a yearly salary of $79,926.

Sources said he has an arrest history “dating back years” on weapon- and drug-related charges, but was only convicted once, for unauthorized use of a weapon, prior to 1995.
