Kmart security guard cut during knife robbery

A man who shoplifted knives used one of them to slash a Kmart security guard who was trying to stop him this afternoon in the Avondale neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
It happened about 3 p.m. at the Kmart at 3443 W. Addison St.
A man who appeared to be in his 20s had taken knives from the store without paying and hid them in his clothing.
When the guard tried to stop the suspect, he pulled out one of the knives and cut the guard's hand before fleeing into a car that had been reported stolen
