Arlington Heights police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 2:57 PM Friday to a report of a bicyclist down in the intersection at Northwest Highway and Vail Avenue Arlington Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics received an update that bicyclist may have been assaulted near the Marathon gas station.

Police and firefighter/paramedics found two adult males at the scene. One appeared to be injured in the face or head. He was transported by ambulance to Northwest Community Hospital.

Another man was standing near the intersection, and was being interviewed by police about 3:10 p.m.

The man was handcuffed and taken into custody in a police transport van, and then transported to Arlington Heights Police Department Headquarters.
