CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said somebody intentionally set a fire to city hall over the weekend. The arson attempt happened on Friday at about 11 p.m., according to the mayor. Johnson said that security footage shows as the suspect started a fire outside the building before running off.

It will likely cost Chicago taxpayers approximately $52 million in interest to borrow that money and pay off during the next five years, according to estimates provided to the Chicago City Council by Chief Financial Officer Jill Jaworski.

Violence has no place in our politics," Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Monday after an attempted arson at City Hall last week.

That's right down the street from Orville T. Bright Elementary. Video shared tens of thousands of times on Facebook shows the attack.

Someone started a fire about 11 p.m. Friday outside City Hall, 121 N. La Salle Street, and fled, Mayor Brandon Johnson said. No one was hurt. The building's exterior sustained some damage. Police are investigating.
