Teen Sexually Assaulted While Waiting For Bus At 95th And Halsted

CHICAGO, IL - A woman who was waiting for the bus at the stop near 95th and Halsted last week was sexually assaulted and robbed. A man whose image was briefly captured on a surveillance image approached the 18-year-old at the stop around 5 a.m. on Feb. 22 and ordered her to another location nearby, according to police.

While at the other location, he sexually assaulted the victim, took her money and fled the scene, police said in a community alert to residents of the 22nd Police District.

Police described the incident as a criminal sexual assault/armed robbery, but it is unclear in a narrative whether the man had a gun. The attacker is described as a black man, 5'5" to 5'7" with a medium complexion, thin build and a short "patchy" beard. He wore a black North Face "fleece" style jacket, gray jogging pants, black baseball hat with red color under the brim and black boots.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chicago Police Department's Area South Bureau of Detectives at 312-747-8271.
