A man riding in a car in the 100 block of North Lake Shore Drive was shot June 10 at around 4:00 in the morning.

The victim told police that while in the backseat of a car going southbound, he heard four to five loud gunshots and felt pain in his right buttocks. It turned out that the victim had been shot once in the buttocks from a bullet that shattered the vehicle’s passenger side window.

Neither the victim nor the two other people in the car could identify the offenders other than the fact they were driving a maroon vehicle. The victim was released from Rush Hospital in stable condition.

Joseph Hegwood, 48 of Chicago, allegedly slashed someone with a box cutter at the Ogilvie Metra station, 500 W. Madison St., on June 7.

The victim told police that he was in standing in line at the McDonald’s in the station’s food court when Hegwood approached him and became verbally aggressive. Hegwood then slashed the victim with a two-inch straight black box cutter and ran away. The victim received an eight-inch cut in his shoulder, which required medical attention by a trauma physician at Northwest Hospital.

The McDonald’s manager observed the attack and notified Metra station security, who had noticed Hegwood fleeing the station. Security then contacted the police, who spotted Hegwood walking eastbound on Harrison Street. Hegwood was detained, at which point police discovered four box cutters on his person. Charges against Hegwood were pending at the time of the crime report.

Teenagers chased a biker on the lakefront path along the 2200 block of South Lake Shore Drive June 10 at about 6:00 in the afternoon — with one teen carrying a large stick.

The victim said that he was biking southbound when a group of men jumped out from behind some bushes. The victim swerved his bike to avoid one offender, while another offender — who the victim guessed to be 13 — picked up a thick stick. The cyclist said he was able to pedal away fast enough to avoid a possible attack.

Three other offenders had started to chase the biker, but were unable to keep up due to their pants sagging down.
