Confrontations between protesters and Chicago police intensified in the downtown area overnight during continued marches over the death of George Floyd.
By the time the demonstrators dispersed, from Chicago’s downtown area early Saturday, windows of several Loop businesses were broken, leaving shards of glass strewn on the streets and sidewalks. Garbage cans and flower pots were also toppled over.
By about 4:30 a.m., a truck from a board-up company could be seen outside a State Street Old Navy store, which had its windows damaged. A group of people could also be seen inside a Champs sports apparel store near State and Madison streets assessing damage from a broken front window there.
A work crew was shoveling broken glass outside Jewelers Row at Madison and Wabash Avenue, where a couple of businesses had their front windows shattered or cracked.
