LAKEVIEW — Bow Truss owner Phil Tadros was arrested on domestic violence charges last week, allegedly for biting a woman's finger.

Around 5:15 p.m. Thursday, the coffee chain owner got into an argument with a woman and bit her, said Officer Thomas Sweeney, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.

He also allegedly pushed her to the ground, causing abrasions to the woman's arm, Sweeney said.

The relationship between the woman and Tadros was unclear. He was charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery, police said.
