Two women were pushed to the ground by a man who tried to rob them of their purses at 10:45 last night near Diversey and Seminary. The offender fled without getting their property.
The victims, who are roommates, describe the offender as a Hispanic man in his early 20’s, about 5’6” tall, who wore Rayban sunglasses and a multi-color hoodie. He “ran off” on Seminary.
Recorded as a strong arm robbery attempt in CPD case HX434006.
