Four men were being questioned tonight in connection with a mob attack of a crowd of people in Lakeviewearly this morning that left one man with a broken jaw and was videotaped by someone who was with the attackers
The attacks happened about 1:10 a.m. at Clark Street and Cornelia Avenue, just south of Wrigley Field, when between 8 and 10 people jumped out of a white stretch limousine.
Several people from the limousine started punching and hitting another group of people, and someone who was with them began recording the attack on video.
Following the attacks, a 27-year-old man was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center with head injuries, including a broken jaw. Two other men, 22 and 27, also were injured and spoke to police, but were not taken to a hospital.

Officers were able to arrest four men, two age 32, two age 31, identified by victims, police said, adding that two of the four are on parole.
