ZAPPED: Man Stun Guns Woman Who Won’t Talk To Him

A woman who refused to talk to a stranger on the street found herself on the wrong end of that man’s stun gun early Wednesday morning. The suspect is in custody.

The victim told police that a man followed her and tried to strike up a conversation on Sheffield just north of Diversey shortly after 2 o’clock this morning. When she declined to engage the man, he took out a stun gun-equipped flashlight and zapped her.

Police searched the area for the suspect—described as a black man wearing a wool coat with an American flag on its left arm—and soon found him at the Diversey Brown Line station.

Charges are pending.

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.
