Citizens Thwart Apple Picking
- A 15-year-old boy is being held by police after two bystanders caught him as he tried to escape a North Side “L” station following the robbery of a woman on a Red Line train this morning, police said.
The woman, age 25, was riding a Red Line train about 10:10 a.m. when the boy grabbed her cell phone and ran off the train at the Sheridan stop, 3940 N. Sheridan Road, said Chicago Police News Affairs [...].
The woman gave chase, and the teen fought her off, pushing her to the ground, [...].
The teen then tried to run from the station, but was caught by two Good Samaritans, who held him until police arrived...
When the predator hunts alone, sometime the prey turns the tables.

One of those warm and fuzzy stories. Thanks.
Really, how stupid can these people be. Stop showing your phones while on trains, the savage will take it from you. Does anyone have the numbers for the robberies on the L for the year? Or have they been "reclassified" as thefts. What was it that the sgt said in full metal jacket. If it wasn't for assholes like you there wouldn't be any thievery. Something like that. But the point is, if they don't see it they can't take it.
Hunting alone is stupid !
Get 30 friends and mob rob a michigan av jeweler.
Get 10 friends & mob rob a bank.
If they were smart ...
Wanna bet that addhole that goes by 'judge' gives the kid probation or sentences the shut to an essay on why robbery is wrong? Judges in Cook County are why Cook County sucks balls.
In this city, the 2 Good bystanders will probably be charged with touching a 'child' and Lil' Trayvon will be let free. Uh-huh!
They should have tuned him up before turning him over.
HIRE MORE POLICE!! Citizens should not be making arrests everyday.

You may as well be talking to a bag of bricks. These people seem devoid of common sense. Everytime I see them with their Iphone or super expensive headphones on display, I shake my head. They seem to want everyone to "Look at my cool, expensive toys". It's a badge of honor for them to show everyone what they have. Same for the goofs who think it a good idea to sit in the window of a close to the ghetto Starbucks, tapping away on their bright, shiney laptop. Idiots!
I hate these little f-ing bastards out there doing these robberies. That being said the stupid fucking people that continue to walk and talk oblivious to what or who is around them is even more frustrating. It is NO SECRET that I-phones and Smart phones are the target of these savages, yet people continue to walk with their phones out in their hands even when they are not using them. These people need to stop making themselves into victims.
Glad this little shithead got caught, too bad he didn't fall down some EL stairs.
Eventually someone is going to kill an " Apple Picker" and we'll have our own Trayvon. Its just a matter of time. The media will have a racially motivated feeding frenzy.
Great job public,that could be your sister,mom,wife,girlfriend,just get involvd!
I volunteer for the decoy spot with an apple product. Will help to thin the herd, one young buck with no brains at a time.
you ve got it ALL WRONG!he wanted to just call his mom. ''mom i borrowed this phone ...come pick me up. please keep the car running".
People are finally fighting back. GOOD!
He ( the perp) needed the money for medical
school.
held him until police arrived...

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!
Nice story about the Florida Trayvon case. 3 of the eye witnesses have now changed their story about what they saw. The 4th has now said he didn't see anything. Sounds like some really classic intimidation by you know who.
