I was robbed at Buckingham and Halsted this morning at 5:51 a.m. – I know the time, because I was able to dial 911 before the “friendly fellow” who was attempting to chat me up was able to grab my phone. The offender was a young african american, 20-22 yro, approximately 5’7″-5’8″ with a very slender build, blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans. Sounds very similar to the offender profiled in the attack early monrning 8/19
