Three teens are charged with allegedly beating and robbing a 75-year-old man of $9 Monday in the city’s Chicago Lawn community.
Shakeil Robinson, 19, of the 7500 block of South Winchester Avenue, and two 16-year-old boys were all charged late Monday with robbery of a victim over 60 years of age, Wentworth Area police Sgt. James Lamperis said.
Lamperis said the 75-year-old victim was punched, kicked and robbed about 4:15 p.m. at 6701 S. Western Ave. The teens were arrested shortly afterward by police who saw the incident, the sergeant said.
A police report said the officers who witnessed the attack saw the three punching and kicking the victim as he lay on the ground and saw them running away southbound and then go into a corner store.
The victim positively identified one of them as the person who allegedly punched him in the eye and said, “Give me all your money,” before going into his right pants pocket and taking $9, the report said.
It was not immediately known whether the man was taken to a hospital.
Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.
