Man Robbed at Gunpoint Walking from CTA Station in Oak Park: Cops

Two men allegedly robbed an Oak Park man at gunpoint Wednesday, according to police.

The robbery took place in the 800 block of Austin Street between 6:55 a.m. and 7 a.m., according to reports. One suspect, described as a black male in his early twenties and wearing a dark shirt, was reportedly driving a black Oldsmobile Alero when he and the other suspect, who was in the car with him, approached a man who was walking away from the CTA station on Austin Street.

The second suspect, described as a black man between 20 and 30 years old with dreadlocks, a slim build and all black clothing, allegedly shouted to the man to approach the car, and he did.

At that point, the second suspect reportedly showed the man a black handgun with an extended clip and told the victim not to move. He went through the man's pockets, stealing an Illinois ID card, CTA card, cash, a smart phone and red headphones.

The man was unharmed physically. Police haven't specified the dollar amount lost in the robbery.
