A North Side Chicago man purportedly told police his boyfriend robbed him at knifepoint.

The incident was reported around 9:43 p.m. and occurred inside an apartment at 5840 North Sheridan Road in Edgewater, said police.

    Boyfriend or trick? Doubting the whole BF thing; victim would have a phone number that's traceable to address.
