A Cicero man was charged Sunday for allegedly striking a police officer in Little Village overnight early Saturday with a heavy, wooden flagpole.

       Prosecutors charged Arturo Rodriguez, 46, with a felony count of aggravated battery of a peace officer. They alleged he hit a police officer lying on the ground in the back of the head with the wooden flagpole as officers tried to pursue and arrest two teens, court records show.

       An unknown attacker struck another officer in the head with a wooden pole, severely cutting the officer’s ear, according to a police report obtained by the Tribune.
