Woman Pistol Whipped, Robbed In Wicker Park: Report

CHICAGO, IL — A woman was reportedly attacked and robbed in Wicker Park Thursday evening. The victim was approached by two men in reflective vests as she walked up to her home in the 1400 block of North Bosworth Avenue around 7:20 p.m., according to a report.

The woman's boyfriend told ABC 7 that one of the men was holding a package and claimed it belonged to the woman. When the woman opened her door, the men reportedly pushed her through, and punched and pistol-whipped her, her boyfriend said.

The suspects ordered the victim into a bedroom and stole between $2,000 and $3,000 in cash, electronics and other items, ABC 7 reported.

A UPS spokesperson said customers can request that packages be left on the doorstep if they are uncomfortable opening their doors. UPS said packages that require a signature can be picked up from a third party location.
