The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. in the 2500 block of North Bernard Street, according to Officer Brandi Wright, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman. 

The woman told police she was walking to a friend's house when a man ran up to her, took out a gun and demanded her belongings, Wright said. The man then stole her belongings before getting into a green car waiting nearby and driving off.
