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.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
