June 15, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A 15-year-old boy was mugged at gunpoint and struck on the head by a group of teens near the Ogilvie Transportation Center in the West Loop on Tuesday evening.
The incident happened about 6:30 p.m. near an alley at 101 N. Clinton St., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
The victim was approached by a group of seven male teens, Mirabelli said.
One, who was armed with a handgun, approached the victim and demanded his money, according to police. A second teen struck the victim on the back of his head, Mirabelli said.
The group got the boy's cell phone, cash and a bus card, police said.
Police are asking that anyone who may have seen the robbery and can provide a description of the offenders call Belmont Area detectives. Additionally, if anyone sees someone matching the description of the suspects, they should call police.
The offender with the gun was described as a black male with a dark complexion, about 19, 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds with brown eyes and black hair in dreadlocks.
The offender who struck the boy in the head was described as a black male between 15 and 18 with brown eyes and black hair, also in dreadlocks. He is about 5-foot-11 and 150 pounds, and was wearing dark blue jean shorts and a T-shirt that had the word "ENYCE" in rhinestones, Mirabellli said.
The other offenders were described only as black males believed to be in their teens.
No one was in custody as of late Wednesday morning, and Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
This incident is at least the tenth similar attack in the downtown area since the beginning of the month.

Amish on a rampage...in the no concealed carry state of Illinois....
Reports any crime.
Paste in 101 N. Clinton St and you'll see it. My eyesight must be failing, because I don't see it. Maybe no one reported it. Maybe the database isn't accurate.
Maybe it's on Clearmap. I'm too lazy to look
Heck, they’ve been hitting stores on Michigan Avenue for months. Personally I don’t think we’re talking training exercises, unless these guys are morons, likely, you keep that quiet. They’ve simply found an effective way of mobilizing a small mob without burning a neighborhood down. Which attracts attention. I’ve noted that in most of these incidents the criminals aren’t caught. They win. An effective tactic, for a while.
Watch out Detroit, here we come!
Not Obama, he was on the golf course.
“The offender with the gun”
Wait...wait!
Guns are banned in Chicago. No CCW in Illinois.
How was this possible?
Actually all the white guys are on TV portrayed as thieves so you’d buy some sort of home protection device or ID theft protection. Notice no Black or Asian or Hispanic bad guys in those ads?
“Actually all the white guys are on TV portrayed as thieves so you’d buy some sort of home protection device”
We have home protection devices, but I guess you can never have enough ammunition.
Yep, I think old Bernhard will go down as a societal visionary...............Pretty soon, I might add.
“Actually all the white guys are on TV portrayed as thieves so you’d buy some sort of home protection device”
Do you think they can train them well enough so that they won’t lose heart when they run into withering fire and the first few dozen fall?
What to do, what to do.
They were undercover officers who walked the streets posing as targets to the thug element..........
These are “Holder’s People”, and are therefore immune to prosecution.
What? You didn’t get the memo?
Chicago will turn into the next Detroit unless
something is done.
Like Detroit, all those who bring jobs (money) into the city will leave; meaning only the takers (those who
get free money) will remain.
Result? Detroit—a dying city that has lost over half
its population.
I’m glad you’re alright. Next time it happens give the perp a parting gift of stomping as hard as you can down on his ankle.
These muggers are in so much trouble, they have a gun in Chicago, /sarcasm.
Only thugs, ne’er do wells and politicians can own guns in Chicago
He’s lucky I didn’t pull out my .380 and shoot him. I’d have done society a favor......
That's because Blacks and Hispanics, at least, will riot, protest and boycott at the slightest "diss." They have organizations fighting on their behalf. Maybe it's time for white males to do the same. Yeah, you'll be called "racist," but so what? They're going to call you that, anyway.
