Man Arrested for Lollapalooza Biting Attack

While watching Arctic Monkeys perform at Lollapalooza earlier this month, a 29-year-old Chicago man named Ben Lenet was attacked and bitten by a random stranger. Lenet claimed he was bitten "for a good 5 seconds" on the arm, adding "He’s not biting me. He’s clearly trying to bite through me." He also said that the attacker took 10-15 blows to the head, but walked away without seeming to be noticeably affected.

The unprompted biting attack broke through his skin, and required preventative treatment for HIV and hepatitis. At the time, Lenet posted the account of his attack to Reddit in hopes that his attacker would be found.

Now, a man has been arrested for the attack, as RedEye Chicago reports. Sergio Vicenteno, 33, was taken into custody after meeting with detectives on Wednesday, and was charged with two counts of aggravated battery at a public venue.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
