A Chicago husband and wife were assaulted Friday while on a date night in the city's Streeterville neighborhood by a group of teens who said, 'we own the street,' according to one victim.
A Chicago couple were attacked after going on a date in the Windy City's Streeterville neighborhood on Friday. The husband and wife were walking on the street when they were surrounded by an unknown number of teens Friday evening near Grand Avenue and McClurg Court, FOX 32 Chicago reported. The woman, whose name is Nina, told the outlet they were kicked, stomped on and punched repeatedly.
Nina shared photographs of her injuries with FOX 32. The images show a chunk of her hair was pulled out and her eye was bruised in the assault. She said her husband was also viciously attacked by the group, which held him down during the assault. She told FOX 32 the teens used pepper spray and kicked her stomach. DEMOCRATS WORRIED WHETHER CHICAGO AUTHORITIES CAN KEEP THE PEACE AS ROWDY PROTESTS EXPECTED: REPORT The attack was not a robbery, according to the victim.
Crime in Chicago remains a serious problem. Robberies, car thefts, aggravated battery and burglaries have all increased since last year, according to Chicago Police crime data through June 2. Murders, theft and sexual assaults are down, however, compared to this time in 2023. The city had a bloody Memorial Day weekend with 41 people shot, nine fatally, including a five-year-old girl. Fox News' Louis Casiano contributed to this report.
