CHICAGO (WLS) -- A man is accused of choking an 8-year-old girl until she passed out in the bathroom of a restaurant in Chicago's South Loop.
The girl was with her mother at the Jason's Deli in the 1200-block of South Canal Street on Saturday, police said. The girl and her mother were inside the restroom separated by stalls around 1:15 p.m.
Police say 33-year-old Reese Hartstirn walked in and targeted the girl, choking her and trying to lock her in a stall. The mother heard her daughter scream and grabbed her.
Police said other people in the deli helped hold the man until officers arrived.
Jason's Deli released a statement Friday regarding the incident:
"We're blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Chicago Police Department. Many of them are our customers and because of their connection to our deli, this unfortunate situation was handled very quickly. We're proud of how out team members responded and thankful that we have the kind of customers that are willing to lend a hand in a difficult situation. We continue to work hard every day to make every customer happy."
The girl was taken to Comer Children's Hospital, but police did not have information about her condition.

It normalizes males entering into the ladies room when they would normally be chased out.
What is stopping us from chasing them out? WE need to quit being victims, and stand up for ourselves. So what if someone calls us a mean name. The problem is that only a small handful of like minded individuals are actually willing to speak up in real life. They will come on forums like this and comment and comment, but when push comes to shove, they keep their mouths shut.
Democrats are always looking for solutions to problems that don’t exist. Which invariably creates a real problem which they have the solution to, of course.
I don’t want laws allowing men in to ladies rooms. But I don’t want laws preventing it either. Because we already have the pervert laws already on the books in every state.
This is not a federal issue. We don’t need the federal potty police checking for peckers outside the bathroom.
We don’t need Obama turning this non issue into a problem. That is where our outrage should be, at Obama
exactly
Our outrage should be at Obama and everyone of the politicians that go along with him as such our dollars not be spent in stores like Target that encourage this behavior.
How about the Muslim culture treatment of their daughters?
There already are. I don’t go anywhere without my pistol. Except military bases. Some obvious guy comes in a bathroom where I am is going to get a gun pulled on him. I’m an older lady and have reached the point where I really don’t care who gets upset.
Unless there are surveillance cameras in the stalls, a pervert/predator/deviant could get away with a number of lewd and lascivious acts. Its “her word against his/hers/its”. Victims will be framed as bigots.
If there are plans for surveillance cameras, guess who the perverts are?
There’s a pervert in OUR White House.
Good on you! Encourage your friends to do the same.
We need more of that.
If your friend is comfortable with her daughters showing and peeing with grown men, your friend has the values of a street whore.
And unless bathrooms have police men stationed in them, they will continue to be areas that predators will troll.
This was a perp. Not going to be stopped by signage only people
Encouraged however, by soebarkah, who is absolutely giddy about this.
You obviously don’t believe there are people who try to help others. I have thrown men out of ladies’ rooms before. They don’t like little ladies like me throwing them out, but once others see what I am doing, I get plenty of help. Obama’s bathroom laws make it much more difficult. Some people would rather turn around and walk away than to have to deal with the law and peer pressure that calls them bigoted. Instead of making things harder on those who do wrong, Obama’s law makes it harder on those who do right.
No
I did not say that no one would help
What I said was, if no one was THERE to help
That is a big difference
And the only way to accomplish this is to guard every public bathroom in the United States with an armed guard. And who is going to pay for that?
Precisely. This was an attempted child rape -- plain and simple. Made easier by the doofus in the Oval Office.
We all need to email and phone the White House to thank obozo and his brain dead AG for handing the November election to The Donald. If ANYONE with a young child votes for Hillary or Bernie, they need to be charged with child abuse and...! Oh, wait. I forgot that the North American Man Boy Love Association has already submitted a draft of obozo’s NEXT unconstitutional “rule” on the subject.
never mind...
Her daughters are grown now but her inability to consider having young daughters with this crap going on shows the power of liberalism to destroy brains.
In some cultures, parents were proud to offer their daughters to priests for human sacrifice.
Ideology über allas.
Right now we don't have armed guards at every public bathroom. When I kicked the men out, there weren't armed guards. But there was full knowledge that when all was said and done, these men would be the ones in trouble. Even the men going in there knew it. But with Obama's laws, the ones in trouble are the ones standing for what is right.
