Cops Send Out Alert After Woman Attacked in Chinatown


We quickly wanted to post an alert from the Chicago Police Department in relation to an attack of a 36 year-old women in Chinatown over the weekend. Although this isn't what we consider the South Loop, it's pretty close to our neighborhood:
Chicago police say they're looking for three males who robbed and beat a woman in the South Loop (more Chinatown in our opinion) over the weekend.

The males, dressed in dark clothing, left a gray vehicle in the 2200 block of South Stewart Street at about 5 a.m. Sunday, robbed the 36-year-old woman and fled, police said in a community alert issued today.

Police urged people to take precautions:Walk in groups and in well-lighted areas, keep keys in your hand when walking to your car or home; if walking alone, give the impression of talking on your cell phone; be suspicious of people loitering.

Anyone with information should contact the Area One detective division, (312) 747-8382.

  1. Thank you for the heads up, Sloopy. Does this make me racist?

  3. Funny how the racist anon claimed to be paying over 10K in property taxes and then says that he lives close to this incident. Seems really, really unlikely given the housing stock in the area.

  4. Unless they're a slumlord . . . which would explain a lot.

  5. SLOOPY: please create a post informing the community of an overnight police-involved shooting in the heart of the Sloop, 14th and Michigan. The story is currently breaking on chicagotribune.com and states that the suspect fled in an unknown direction and has not been apprehended.

  6. Good, we actually have a link for once. This event is certainly alarming, but I would hesitate to make generalizations about the neighborhood based on the fact that a known fugitive was passing through the center of the city.

  7. FGFM- I think you should panic. ACORN has dissolved based on a REDeye report today. Not 100% you work for them, but thank god ther're done. Not sure what you mean by sarcastically saying everyone panic, but I hope you are put in that situation and then see how you feel.

  8. FGFM- [sic] I think you should panic.

    Why?

    ACORN has dissolved based on a REDeye [sic] report today.

    I see that you read only the finest publications.

    Not 100% [sic] you work for them, but thank god [sic] ther're [sic] done.

    You ought to join the Glenn Beck research team.

    Not sure what you mean by sarcastically saying everyone panic, but I hope you are put in that situation and then see how you feel.

    I appreciate your concern for my feelings, but I've already been robbed at both gun and knifepoint. My theory is that he was trying to shoot the chef. That place is the biggest clip joint around.

  9. Yeah, I love the compassion in that "I hope you are put in that situation" statement.

    Ah, hypocrisy.
