A 64-year-old man was taken to a hospital after two men forced their way
inside his apartment, punched him in the face and tried to steal his television
last night in the Norwood
Park East neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
Police
were called to the 6300 block of North Milwaukee Avenue about 9 p.m. for a
burglary in progress and found it was a home invasion.
A witness told
investigators two men knocked on the man’s door, and when he opened it they
pushed their way in and began punching him in the face, causing lacerations and
bruising.
They began trying to flee with a
television but it was dropped as one of the suspects jumped from the man’s
second-floor balcony to a balcony on the floor below, where a 22-year-old woman
lives.
When she began screaming as he ran through her home,
he threatened to shoot her. Both suspects fled without the television.
Paramedics took the man to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in
Park Ridge.
He remains hospitalized Friday afternoon in serious condition.
Someone saw a red 4-door car fleeing the scene and the suspects, who are
between the ages of 20 and 25, have not been arrested
