芝加哥一男子冲向消防员被破拆杆击倒：目击者称消防员随即上前查看伤情
11月1日周日下午晚些时候，在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市南区一座教堂外，一名赤膊男子冲向一名手持破拆杆（Halligan bar）的消防员，消防员挥杆将其击倒在地。目击者Cherokee Mahomes拍下的视频随后在X、Instagram等平台疯传，仅Instagram一则转发就有约14万次点赞。
据CBS News报道、消防专业媒体Firehouse转述，事发前数秒，一名警察曾对该男子使用电击枪，但没有奏效。男子随后冲向站在消防车旁、手持破拆杆的消防员，消防员挥杆自卫，第二下击中男子头部，男子一度失去意识倒地。
视频显示，击倒男子后，这名消防员随即放下破拆杆，上前查看男子的情况。Mahomes对媒体说：「他做了他必须做的事。他挥杆是为了保护自己。而且我注意到他有同理心，因为他打完之后就放下了杆子，走上前确认那个人没事。」她还说：「我觉得他保护了我们。他是我的英雄，我站在他这边。」
据Firehouse报道，这名男子当时显然正处于心理健康危机之中，目前正在康复。破拆杆是消防员用于破门和强行进入建筑的钢制撬杆类工具，并非武器。
截至发稿，相关报道中尚未见芝加哥消防局就此事发表官方说明，男子的姓名也未公布，事发具体街址未见报道。GSM不搬运这段疯传视频，本文事实据目击者原视频与CBS News、WGN等媒体的报道核对写成。
Chicago Firefighter Strikes Charging Man With a Halligan Bar: Witness Says He Then Checked on the Man
Late on Sunday afternoon, November 1, outside a church on Chicago's South Side in Illinois, a shirtless man charged at a firefighter holding a Halligan bar, and the firefighter swung the tool and knocked him to the ground. Video recorded by witness Cherokee Mahomes then went viral on X, Instagram and other platforms, with one Instagram repost drawing about 140,000 likes.
According to CBS News, as summarized by the fire-service outlet Firehouse, seconds earlier a police officer had fired a Taser at the man, but it was unsuccessful. The man then charged the firefighter, who was carrying the Halligan bar near the fire truck. The firefighter swung to protect himself, and the second swing caught the man in the head and knocked him out briefly.
The video shows that after the strike, the firefighter dropped the bar and went to check on the man. Mahomes told reporters: "He did what he had to do. He swung the weapon and he protected himself. And I noticed ... he had empathy, because after he swung the weapon, he dropped it ... and walked up on the man to make sure he was OK." She added: "I feel like he protected us. He's my hero to me. I'm on his side."
According to Firehouse, the man was apparently suffering a mental health crisis and is recovering. A Halligan bar is a steel forcible-entry tool firefighters use to pry open doors, not a weapon.
As of publication, the reports reviewed carried no official statement from the Chicago Fire Department about the incident, the man's name had not been released, and no exact street address was reported. GSM does not repost the viral clip; the facts above were checked against the witness's original video and reporting by CBS News, WGN and other outlets.
