A Venezuelan migrant working at a Chicago construction site has been detained on attempted murder charges after allegedly attacking a coworker with a running concrete saw, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said 26-year-old Augustin Gomes Granadillo got into an argument with a 30-year-old coworker at a job site in the 1200 block of South Kedvale Avenue on June 23.
The altercation began as a verbal disagreement that escalated when Gomes allegedly picked up a shovel and swung it at the victim, a Chicago police report said. He then used a concrete block to hit him in the stomach before grabbing a Stihl masonry saw from the job site.
Gomes turned it on and swung it at the victim twice, striking him once in the right wrist and then in the chest, the report said. The victim suffered a deep laceration and fracture of the wrist and a deep laceration wound to the chest, according to prosecutors.

“I had an afro before the fight began. But you should see the other guy.”

I SAW what you did there.
Powerful.
The news outlet doesn’t know the difference between an illegal Alia and a migrant
.
Right on.
Don’t forget where this is. Chicago’s Pritzer will probably make him the victim and the other guy will have to pay. Sadly in the Windy City justice has a different meaning.
I saw a jobsite chainsaw fight in 92’.
