Police described the offender as a black man in his 20’s who stands 5’7” to 5’10” tall and weighs 160 to 190 pounds.
Anyone with information about the robbery may contact Area Central detectives at 312-747-8380 about case #JC140762.
Another Old Town Attack
A 67-year-old man fought off three men who tried to rob him in an Old Town alley on the evening of Jan. 25th.
Surveillance video shows the man walking in the 400 block of West Eugenie around 7:45 p.m. when the three offenders approach him from behind and try to rob him.
The man is knocked to the ground, but he fights back, and the robbers appear to run away empty-handed.
Block Club Chicago was the first to report on the Eugenie attack.
