Man robbed at gunpoint on North Michigan Avenue


Early Tuesday morning, a man was robbed at gunpoint on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, said police.

The armed robbery occurred around 4:30 a.m. on the 400 block of North Michigan Avenue.

Based on the investigating officer’s description of where the incident took place, the victim was mugged in the Pioneer Court Plaza at 401 North Michigan Avenue.

Three black males approached the victim on the street. One of the males stuck a black gun in the victim’s stomach and demanded his valuables, said police.

The offender holding the gun was wearing a multicolored hat. He is approximately 350 pounds and about 6-feet-tall.

Traumatized by having a gun stuck in his belly, the victim was unable to described the other two offenders, but the victim believes all three suspects are in their early 20s, said police.

The muggers stole the victim’s wallet, cell phone, and keys.

After the robbery, the thieves fled northbound on North Michigan Avenue, on foot.

  1. With all the focus on the Mag Mile due to the black flash mobs running amok there still is opportunity for an armed robbery there? Even though it's admittedly very early how hard can it be to notice a 350 pound black, along with two others, roaming around in the early morning hours?
    Also, I believe police dispatchers have been told not to use the term "flash mob" over the air. All part of trying to manage public perceptions, one supposes.

  4. that 350 pound nig is his own flash mob.

    It should be easy to track him down at the local McD's.

  5. I hope the "victim" was a liberal bleeding-heart employee of one of the many news services that have offices in this area. Probably not, since he identified the race of the offenders.
