Rakim Kendall, 31, was arrested Monday in the 7100 block of South Cyril Avenue and charged with five felony counts of aggravated assault to a police officer, Chicago police said.
About 10:15 p.m. Monday, officers were responding to calls of a person with a gun in the 7100 block of South Jeffery Boulevard and approached Kendall, according to police. Kendall then pointed his weapon at officers and began running away, they said.
During a foot chase, an officer fired his weapon but didn’t strike Kendall, police said.
