HUMBOLDT PARK — A 13-year-old has been arrested in connection to a sucker-punch on The 606 last week, according to police.
Police arrested the 13-year-old girl Friday after the victim in the attack positively identified the girl in surveillance video posted on the news, according to the Chicago Police Department's news affairs division.
The girl was charged with one count of battery and was arrested in the 3300 block of W. Schubert Ave.
She is the only person that has been arrested and charged in connection to either of two attacks of "random violence," which include the beating of a gay man in Logan Square and the 606 sucker-punch, police said.
The 30-year-old victim of The 606 punch said she believed it was the same girl seen chasing after Levi Frerichs after a group of six teens attacked him while yelling homophobic slurs at him in late July.

The victim of the 606 sucker-punch was punched by a girl on a bike while she was walking her dog on the trail last week at about 10:15 p.m.
The 606 punch occured on the trail just west of the entrance at Rockwell.
Jean Godfrey, the victim, said she was shocked when she saw the surveillance video from the Logan Square attack and recognized her puncher.
In both attacks, the suspects did not attempt to rob the victims, but threatened to steal the victims' dogs.
