Moments after a “suspicious man” was released from a street stop by a proactive 19th district officer, a 13-year-old boy reported that the guy tried to lure him onto a train at the Belmont CTA station Sunday morning.
The officer was still conducting a routine patrol of the train station when the boy approached him to report the incident around 9:15AM. The offender could not be located in the station after the incident and is believed to have boarded a train.
According to the officer, the man is black, in his late 30’s, clean-shaven and bald. He was wearing a gray tank top, black shorts, “obvious” black and gold ankle socks, and gym shoes. During the earlier street stop, he asked the officer for directions to North Avenue, so officers in the neighboring 18th district were notified of the suspect’s potential travel plans.
Police took the boy to the 19th district station and released him to his parents shortly after 10 o’clock.
