Injury to Insult 

Upon witnessing five young men shove his motorcycle to the ground near the intersection of Adeline Street and Ashby Avenue Wednesday night, the 43-year-old motorcycle owner chased after them, Officer Joe Okies said. 

During the chase, one of the young men whipped out a motorcycle chain and struck the motorcycle owner with it. Another young man kicked a bystander, Okies said. 

No one was seriously injured and the four culprits remain at large.
