Three Chicago police officers were attacked and locked inside an Englewood home as they chased a woman who had spit in the face of one of the cops, authorities said.
The officers were able to get out of the house in the 7000 block of South Throop Street and arrested a woman and two men around 2:30 p.m. Monday, police said.
Senneca Traylor, 19, was charged with aggravated battery of an officer and resisting an officer. Janice Lewis, 20, was charged with aggravated battery of an officer. Robert Williams, 28, was charged with unlawful restraint and resisting an officer.
The officers had been chasing Lewis when another person threw a piece of wood at the back of an officer’s head, police said.
The officers chased that person into a nearby home and other residents of the house locked the officers inside, police said. All three officers were treated at hospitals and released.
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the officers "demonstrated incredible professionalism and restraint after being struck by a 2x4, locked inside a home and physically assaulted following the attempted arrest of a woman who spit on them."
The suspects are due in court Wednesday.
