Police Searching For Suspects After Attacks In Uptown: VIDEO

CHICAGO, IL — Police have issued a surveillance video and alert after two victims were attacked in separate robberies in the Uptown and Buena Park neighborhoods Wednesday night. A neighborhood crime blog has reported a third mugging happened in the same area. The reports said the attacks all happened within 15 minutes around the Clarendon and Montrose area.

Three teenage boys approached a 40-year-old man around 7:15 in the 700 block of Bittersweet Place, and demanded the man hand over cash, police said. The boys attacked the man and stole his wallet, and the man escaped to a nearby building, police said.

The second attack happened in the 4200 block of North Clarendon, police said. A 59-year-old man tried to walk past a group of about four or five people, when they pushed him down onto a wrought-iron fence, police said.

The suspects went through the man's belongings, but didn't take anything, police said. The victim's leg was cut from the attack and he was taken to the hospital.

The surveillance video shows four people running along the sidewalk, but police did not provide the location of the video.

Neighborhood blog CWBChicago reported a third robbery around 7:30 p.m. near Buena and Clarendon Avenues. The blog said four teenagers attacked a man on the street.

No one is in custody. Anyone with information is asked to call Area North Detectives at 312-744-8263.
