4 Charged In Traffic Altercation That Turned Into Attack On Trump Voter

(CBS) – Four individuals have been charged in connection with an attack on a motorist last week in which witnesses jeered at the victim for being a Donald Trump supporter.

The 50-year-old motorist was involved in a traffic accident Nov. 9 in the 1100 block of South Kedzie and says he was attacked when he tried to get insurance information from another driver. He says he was beaten by multiple suspects and his car was stolen

On a video posted online, driver David Wilcox was pummeled by several individuals, while onlookers shouted "You Voted Trump!"

Chicago police say they took four suspects into custody this week: Julian Christian, 26; Dejuan Collins, 20; Rajane Lewis, 21; and a 17-year-old female police declined to identify.

All were charged with one felony count of vehicular hijacking. They appeared in court Friday, but no details were available.
