The sexual offense occurred around 12:53 a.m., on the 3100 block of North Halsted Street near Halsted and Briar Place.

A portly Hispanic man riding a bike, rode up and touched the victim sexually, said police.

The female victim chased the suspect southbound on Halsted, where she lost sight of him.

He was last seen wearing a red shirt with a black stripe.

While police were investigating the sexual offense at Halsted and Briar Place, a male victim, involved in an unrelated incident, was located at 3133 North Halsted Street.

According to an officer at the scene, the man was struck on the back of the head with a bottle.

It’s unclear if the black man with the facial tattoo was apprehended and arrested.
