Man Bothers Woman on Escalator at Target, Takes Her Picture: Cops

OAK LAWN, IL -- A Chicago man was arrested for bothering a 22-year-old woman and taking her picture on the escalator at the Oak Lawn Target store, reports said.

Oak Lawn police were dispatched to the store at 4120 W. 95th St. around 8:28 p.m. Oct. 13 for a report of disorderly conduct. While en route, the officer learned that a man, later identified as Green, had fled to the shopping center across the street and was being detained by an off-duty Oak Lawn cop, according to police.

The woman told police she was going up the escalator to shop when she saw Green riding down the escalator. Green turned around and went up to the escalator behind her, reports said.

Police said Green tried to talk to the woman, who made it clear she didn’t want to chat. Green allegedly pulled out his cell phone and started taking pictures of her.

After ignoring his verbal advances, the woman said Green took off with two friends and ran across the street, reports said.

Police said the woman positively identified Green where he was being detained across the street. Green was cited with disorderly conduct and has a hearing Nov. 15 at Oak Lawn Village Hall.
