Chicago fire Lt. Leonard Johnson, 53, was charged Wednesday with misdemeanor battery after an argument with a 52-year-old male firefighter descended into a fistfight, according to a Chicago police spokeswoman.
Around 8:30 a.m., Johnson and the firefighter were involved in a dispute at a fire station where they both work in the 1700 block of West 95th Street in the city’s Beverly neighborhood, police said
The disagreement turned physical, and Johnson hit the man twice in the face, according to police. The man, who suffered a cut to the lip, was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital in good condition.
Johnson, who has worked for the Fire Department for about 20 years, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was treated for a cut to his knuckle.
The incident is under investigation, as to who called the police though Johnson has not been suspended or placed on leave, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.

No kidding,right! If these guys were younger I can see this type of scenario being played out. But these guys are in their 50"s and they had to go to hospitals and to the police,Pathetic!! Got to love the Democrats of our lovely city. I can't wait to see which one of these heroes file a law suit against the City for failing to provide a safe work environment
