A Chicago man was charged over the weekend for assaulting one man and stabbing another after breaking into two Bucktown apartments in search of beer.
Police say hotel event coordinator Tim Snyder, 36, of the 1500 block of North Milwaukee, broke into an apartment building around 4 a.m. Saturday on the 1300 block of North Dean, according to the Sun-Times.
Snyder allegedly entered one apartment and headed straight for the fridge.
When he didn’t find any beer, he allegedly punched a man and left, breaking into another unit. In the second apartment prosecutors said he struggled with another man, who he allegedly stabbed in the back with a corkscrew.
Residents of the building then subdued Snyder until police arrived.
His victim was taken to an area hospital, where he received 22 stitches.
While in police custody, Snyder allegedly threatened and spit at officers. He now faces two charges of home invasion, aggravated battery and aggravated battery of a police officer.
He has previous convictions for domestic battery and aggravated battery, police said.
