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.

These hoods are so brave. Ten Obama supporters mobbing one 15 yr old for his cell phone.

This is the tenth similar attack downtown in this month??? That’s almost one a day.

they could have just said black males....yet we had to have three different descriptions of several of the animals just to know that they were ALL black....

don't you just love now how they more and more use the term "dark" skin to describe blacks?...oh, and the dark hair...LOL

Only takes a quick Google to find out that ENYCE is “Enyce ([en-ne-che]) is an American hip hop fashion label owned by Sean Diddy Combs.”

In tri-racial, politically correct Austin Texas, the common description twenty years ago was “male with black hair and brown eyes”. Very helpful.

“My only question: is this planned and organized?”

I have wondered if it is training.

Relate this recent attack to the imposition of a curfew in Baltimore.(There is a Post about it here at FR) So far nothing reported out here in the West Coast.”

Look, it’s an improvement. Liberal papers for years have hidden the race of men committing violent crimes IF they were black. It’s one of the reasons black crime hasn’t been dealt with - total liberal elite denial. So be thankful for this - it’s an honorable change ...

Am I imagining things, or is it getting worse since Rahm Emmanuel took Daley’s place? I know Chicago has never been good, but there seem to be a lot more crime stories.
