In the first incident on Saturday night, a rowdy crowd attacked Chicago police squad cars. The crowd kicked the vehicle doors, jumped on the hoods, and punched the windshields, according to WBBM-TV

Chicago police said an officer was traveling in a marked patrol car in the area when an object struck the vehicle, shattering the windshield. The officer was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries. 

Additional officers were called to the scene for backup. No arrests were made. 

A second attack happened early Monday morning, when fireworks were shot at Chicago police vehicles.
