Good afternoon, Chicago.

A Palatine police officer aided a federal enforcement action yesterday, local authorities said.

Just before noon, Palatine police officers observed three federal agents attempting to take a subject into custody after responding to a report of a disturbance in the northwest suburban village, the Palatine Police Department said in a news release. The department did not immediately say what agency the agents were from.

During the confrontation, a crowd of about 20 people gathered, with “several individuals shouting obscenities and moving toward the arresting agents,” the department said. In turn, a Palatine officer positioned himself between the agents and the crowd “to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to maintain order at the scene,” the department added. However, after continuing to see agents struggle with the subject and “given the subject’s noncompliance, the agitated crowd and the potential risk of injury,” the officer “made the split-second decision to assist in stabilizing the situation,” the department said.
