The 41-year-old mother was returning home with her husband from a date night on Friday when they were surrounded by at least 10 young people in the city’s notorious Streeterville neighborhood.
A group of teens forced a woman to miscarry with a brutal attack after she and her husband dared to stray onto a Chicago street that the youths claimed as their own.
The woman, who gave her name only as Nina, told Fox32 that she was pepper-sprayed in the face, kicked in the stomach and lost a clump of hair as her husband was held back by the mob.
‘They didn’t steal anything. They said like, “we own the street, we own the street. You can’t just walk around prancing in your little dress.
‘They were saying things that just didn’t make any sense to me because they don’t know me.’
She and her husband did not want to give their full names, but warned of the rising crime in the city.
It is less than two weeks since residents held an emergency town hall to demand action on teen gangs running riot in a neighborhood where assaults have jumped 12 percent in the last year.
‘We moved over here thinking it would be quieter,’ said Streeterville resident Mark Wolfe.
‘Now we have we have what my wife and I refer to as the ‘Saturday night scaries’ because of the kids that come in and just cause havoc.’
‘Everything happened from behind us,’ the latest victim said.
‘First someone approached him and hit his head, punched him in the head, and he looked back and he looked at me and told me ‘run’.
‘Another lady came to me and dragged me with my hair on the ground.
