Four men were accused of forcing their way into an Alsip home and attacking several people in a dispute over an ex-girlfriend, authorities said.
The four men face multiple counts of home invasion, a Class X felony, according to Cook County records.
Only Abdullah Alkhatib, 37, of Bridgeview, is on electronic home monitoring, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office. A judge last week set his bail at $350,000.
Alkhatib’s three co-defendants, Ashraf Gharib, 35, Palos Hills; Mohammad Alkhatib, 33, Oak Lawn and Yahya Jabbar, 28, Oak Lawn, are free on $250,000 bail each, according to the sheriff’s office.
The four allegedly entered home in 12700 block of South Kenneth Avenue on Jan. 19 with stun guns and knives to seek revenge on a former mutual acquaintance of the homeowner, officials said.
That revenge allegedly was over an ex-girlfriend of one of the defendants, police said.
Two victims and Abdullah Alkhatib were injured in the attack, said Alsip Deputy Chief Jay Miller. All three were treated at an area hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.
The four are scheduled to return to Bridgeview court Feb. 16.
