JUMPED: Bartender Mugged One Block From Police Station

A 32-year-old bartender was mugged early Wednesday, just one block from the 19th district police station.

β€œIt was like watching wolves hunting a rabbit,” according to a witness who contacted CWB minutes after the 4:10AM robbery. β€œI just took my dog out and witnessed two 20-ish males mugging a dude. 900 block Cornelia.”

Indeed he did. The suspectsβ€”described as a pair of young, skinny, black men dressed in dark clothingβ€”fled with the victim’s iPhone and wallet.

β€œMy shouting β€˜I’m calling the cops’ phased them not at all. They escaped north on Reta.”

The victim, who walked to the police station to file a report, told our reader that the offenders, β€œgot everything of mine.”
