The victim, a 20-year-old boy, was walking down the street when a man in black jacket and skull cap approached him. "Give me your money!" he demanded. The offender started to pat the victim down and steer him toward a nearby alleyway, but the boy resisted. As he started to run away, the would-be robber punched him in the jaw, but failed to stop him from running. The victim was able to escape with all his money. At the time of the report, no arrests had been made. Read the full article at the original source (Chicago Journal)…
