Would-Be Robbers Attack, Punch Pedestrian On Augusta In Oak Park

OAK PARK, IL --- A pedestrian was punched in the face after two men attacked and tried to rob him in Oak Park Saturday. Police say the attack took place in the 100 block of Augusta and that one of the suspects claimed he was armed with a gun.
