This was near 73rd and Lowe on August 13, 1963. This video briefly shows him getting arrested.

Edit: Here provides the following caption:

Chicago police officers carry protester Bernie Sanders, 21, in August 1963 to a police wagon from a civil rights demonstration at West 73rd Street and South Lowe Avenue. He was arrested, charged with resisting arrest, found guilty and fined $25. He was a University of Chicago student at the time. (Tom Kinahan / Chicago Tribune)
