A man maced a woman after she refused his advances Friday.
Walking westbound on the 2400 block of Wharton Street at 6:30 p.m., the complainant encountered a man operating a black Ford, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The individual yelled “Do you have a boyfriend?” to the female, who ignored the inquiry and kept walking toward 25th Street.
As she approached that location, the same male started walking toward her and stated “Are you getting smart with me?” She continued to dodge his questions, leading him to break out a canister of Mace and spray her eyes. The victim, who received on-location treatment from a medic unit, described the individual as black, in his late 40s and 5-foot-6; having a husky build; wearing glasses with dark lenses, burgundy pants and a burgundy striped shirt.
