A man attending Lollapalooza was attacked and bitten during Arctic Monkeys’ set on Friday night, and is now seeking the public help in finding the unknown assailant. Update: According to The Chicago Sun Times, the victim has been identified as Ben Lenet.

Lenet detailed the assault in a post on Reddit:



Me and two other friends are enjoying the show and have even made some friends around us. The mood of the crowd is really happy and a nice departure from the normal drunken debauchery. Suddenly, I turn around and some guy none of us have ever seen or spoken to, without warning, body slams my friend and begins using his hands to choke him. My other friend begins hitting the assailant in the face. I come from the other side and place my right arm on his right arm and my left arm on his right shoulder, trying to pull him off. The attacker then turns his head and clamps his teeth into my arm for a good 5 seconds. He’s not nipping at me. He’s trying to bite through my arm. At this point, all three of us are hitting him, trying to get him off me.

The suspect is described as between 5’7” and 5’11”, dark skin (maybe Hispanic, but not black), 170-210 pounds. Chicago Police “later tell me they only see assailants like that who are on PCP or bath salts,” Lenet continued.

Immediatly following the attack, Lenet was rushed to an area hospital where he was given a tetanus shot and other antibiotics. Because the assailant bit through the skin, Lenet also is at risk for Hepatitis and HIV, and is currently awaiting blood test results to see if he contracted either of the diseases.

Anyone who saw the incident is asked to contact Lenet on Reddit.
