Bail was set at $500,000 Thursday for a Bellwood man accused of intentionally running down an 11-year-old boy with a car and dragging him in a parking lot.
Tiyon Tyson, 28, of the 3400 block of Warren Avenue is charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery of a child and aggravated battery after the incident Sunday in the parking lot of the Brunswick Zone in Woodridge.
The child, who remains in serious condition in a hospital under an alias for security purposes, suffered road burns over 90 percent of his body, a broken rib and left arm and ear damage, said DuPage County Assistant State's Atty. Alex McGimpsey. Also, his spleen was removed, McGimpsey said.
Tyson and his former girlfriend, accompanied by the victim, were quarreling in the bowling alley's parking lot "when he intentionally hit and ran over two victims," McGimpsey said in court.
McGimpsey said that when the woman began to walk away from the situation, "the defendant got into his vehicle and sped backward, knocking the mother away and trapping the child under the car."
"Numerous witnesses saw the child being dragged over a median, and the incident was captured on a security camera," McGimpsey said.
The woman suffered a cracked vertebra and head injuries and was treated at a hospital and released.
