Seven juveniles have been charged with mob action following a series of muggings
carried out Saturday night by groups of attackers, including one that left a
visitor from Michigan hospitalized with a broken jaw.
In the first
attack, a group of young people beat and robbed the 40-year-old man in the 500
block of North State Street just before 10 p.m. The victim, who was in Chicago
on business was treated for a broken jaw at
Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
The juveniles, ranging in age from 13 to
16, have each been charged with three counts of mob action in connection with
the attack. Charges are pending against one adult who has not been
identified.
A second attack, which police believe to be unrelated,
occurred about 30 minutes later near the Lake/State Red Line station in the 100
block of North State Street. A couple was accosted by an unknown number of
suspects near the Chicago Theatre. A male victim suffered minor injuries and was
also treated at Northwestern.
Police received a report of a third attack
near Navy
Pier
