A male used a metal baseball bat to intimidate a woman in Hawthorne.
At 10:09 p.m. July 18, the female was walking on the 1200 block of Lombard Street when she glimpsed the eventual offender turning from 13th Street and walk eastbound on Lombard, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She noticed the bat in his possession and immediately turned to walk away.
The man grabbed her purse and pulled, demanding her cell phone as he raised the bat. She gave him the purse, which contained $20, handed over the device, and watched him flee eastbound on Lombard Street. She described him as black, approximately 40 years old, and 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-7; having scruffy hair; being unshaven; wearing a white T-shirt; and armed with the bat.
