A 5-year-old boy and 32-year-old man were bitten by coyotes in the heart of Chicago. The boy was hospitalized yesterday after being bitten multiple times by a coyote in Lincoln Park. He is said to be in stable condition.
Shortly after the boy was bitten, Chicago police reported another coyote incident. A 32-year-old man was walking on a sidewalk in the Loop, when a coyote came from behind and bit him on his backside, police said. The unidentified victim was brought to the hospital and is in good condition.
Experts say the coyotes are coming closer to downtown and becoming more aggressive because they can’t find food.
