Chicago police confirm they are investigating a report that a Pittsburgh Steelers fan lost his eyesight after he was allegedly poisoned by a Chicago Bears fan during a post-game trash talk session at Kitty O'Shea's bar.
The alleged incident occurred September 20 following the Bears vs. Steelers game at Soldier Field.
News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor says Area 3 detectives are handling the investigation.
WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh interviewed the alleged victim during a report that aired last night. The victim, 46, says he passed out soon after accepting a drink from a group of Bears fans with whom he and his friends had argued.
He says he was taken by ambulance to the hospital and nearly died. He recovered, but the incident left him blind.
