The man was bleeding from his right hand and was briefly treated by the Des Plaines Fire Department, according to the report, and refused to go to the hospital.

A witness told police, according to the report, while sitting at the bar at approximately 12:50 a.m., an unknown Hispanic male subject sat next to a woman and made constant sexual advances. “How much would it cost for us to [have sex]?” the man said to the woman, according to police.

The white male subject, at the bar with the woman, according to the report, asked the Hispanic male subject to leave the woman alone.

The Hispanic male subject again said, a witness told police, according to the report, “How much would it cost for us to [have sex]?”

The white male subject told police, according to the report, at that time he struck the unknown Hispanic male subject in the face twice with a closed fist.

The white male subject told police, according to the report, “I know I had the first punch but I didn’t like the way he was talking to my girl,” and he wanted to sign complaints against the unknown man for battery.

The unknown Hispanic male subject was described as 20-30 years old, average size and build, wearing a white collared shirt and khaki pants.

The woman told police, according to the report, an unknown Hispanic male made unwanted flirtatious sexual advances towards her, and she told him she was not interested, according to the report.

The unknown Hispanic male asked her, “How much would it cost for us to [have sex]?” according to the report, and she was alarmed and disturbed by the remark because the unknown man leaned in very close to her when he said this, police stated.
