On Sunday evening we were contacted by an eyewitness who stated a woman had been mugged in the 1200 block of Marion Court in Wicker Park. The mugging took place just North of Taus Authentic and the former location of Moonshine 1824 W. Division Street.
On April 12 2015, at approximately 7:30pm, the woman was punched in the face and her belongings were taken. The men then jumped into a black Chevy and drove away. The only problem for the assailants, the woman's cell phone was in her purse leading police to an arrest which was confirmed by the Chicago Police Department.
Additional details regarding the arrest were provided via DNAInfo this morning. The phone was tracked to the far West side where a 20 year old was arrested.
A mugging occurring at 7:30pm on a Sunday evening in a busy area is unusual and unexpected. So be sure to stay alert everyone.
