Tinley Park Man Charged With Kidnapping, Battery After Chicago Police Chase
Matthew N. Dominiak, 23, faces kidnapping and battery charges after authorities say he assaulted a woman and led police on a chase through Chicago on Wednesday. The case is the latest in a string of violent incidents prompting renewed attention to public safety across the city.
A 23-year-old Tinley Park man has been charged with kidnapping, battery and leading police on a chase through Chicago after authorities say he assaulted a woman on Wednesday, Nov. 4.
Matthew N. Dominiak faces the charges in connection with the incident, which ended with a police pursuit, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Few details about the circumstances of the alleged kidnapping or the chase were immediately available. It was not clear Thursday where the woman was taken or how she was located, and police did not release information about her condition.
Dominiak remained in custody pending a court appearance. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.
The charges come as Chicago continues to grapple with violent crime and as residents press for both stronger public safety measures and deeper investment in community-based prevention programs. Kidnapping cases, while relatively rare, heighten concerns about the safety of women and the responsiveness of law enforcement.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Chicago police.
