A Logan Square man was robbed in Lakeview on Saturday when he got into a car that he believed was his Uber. And a Minnesota woman told police that she was groped by a stranger during an Uber Pool ride downtown. Here is what we’ve learned:
Police said that just before 2 a.m. on Saturday, a 26-year-old Logan Square man got into a dark-colored sedan in the 800 block of West Diversey believing that it was his Uber ride. Instead, there were two men inside who demanded that the victim hand over his belongings, according to police. The victim said he complied with their demands and jumped out of the moving vehicle as it approached a stop sign in the 2800 block of North Sheffield. Police said the victim was able to grab some of his property back before he jumped from the car, but the two men still managed to get away with his credit cards.
