UKRAINIAN VILLAGE — Police have released photos of a man who may have tried to force his way into a woman's car as she sat in it last month in Ukrainian Village.
Around 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 15, a man walked up to the victim while she was in her car in the 2000 block of West Chicago Avenue, police said.
He "opened up the driver's-side door of the victim's car and attempted to enter the vehicle by grabbing the victim by the chest, pushing her down in a forceful manner," police said.
The woman was able to fight the man off, and forced him out of her car, according to a previous alert.
The man — described by the victim as black, 25 to 30 years old, with a medium complexion and medium build — was wearing dark white-washed jeans and a dark gray hooded sweatshirt. He ran westbound on Chicago Avenue, police said.
The busy block has Mariano's grocery store, McDonald's, Sunrise Cafe and and many small businesses.
According to a police alert issued Wednesday, the man took the No. 66 Chicago Avenue CTA bus and got off at Kedzie Avenue, where he was last seen walking northbound.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Area Central Detective Division at (312) 747-8380. Reference report number JA-154853.
