Chicago police are searching for a man who, according to investigators, followed a woman from the Logan Square CTA station on Tuesday evening, knocked her to the ground, and sexually assaulted her in the 2900 block of North Kedzie before running off on foot.
What the police say
According to FOX 32 Chicago, the attack happened at about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday and was reported to Area Five detectives. Police described the suspect as a Black man about 20 to 30 years old, around 6 feet tall, and 170 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket, dark pants, and black gym shoes, with a black glove on his left hand and a purple glove on his right.
Logan Square context
Neighbors say the assault comes amid a wider stretch of sexual-assault reports and growing anxiety about late-night safety in Logan Square. As Block Club Chicago has reported, residents and aldermen have previously pushed for more police patrols after a string of incidents that began in late 2024 and continued into 2025, highlighting long-standing safety concerns in the neighborhood. The pattern has left many wary of walking alone after dark and has spurred community groups to organize watch efforts.
