A Valparaiso, IN, man repeatedly punched a 22-year-old man and stole the victim’s wallet and other items this weekend in Boystown, prosecutors said.
Delonte Sawyer, 19, battered and robbed the Humboldt Park man in the 800 block of West Roscoe Street around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, according to charges.
21-year-old Malik Brewer of the South Side’s New City neighborhood is charged with battery in the case.
Police arrested Sawyer and Brewer after the victim’s friend notified police that the two had fled into the Belmont Red Line station.
