Open Investigations: Fleeing Police, Car Crash

• Police said they are looking for a 23-year-old Chicago Heights man who reversed his car into traffic at Andover and Division streets and fled police officers, all while driving on a revoked license. The man, who an officer recognized from previous arrests, abandoned the car and escaped on foot in the 200 block of Beacon Boulevard, around 7:30 p.m., according to the report.
• About three hours later, a woman told police that she quickly reversed her car into an iron fence in the 500 block of Gregory Drive out of fear for her life. She said a man—described as black, wearing a black hoodie—grabbed her by the arm and demanded her purse as she was pulling into her driveway. He then reportedly fled eastbound empty-handed.
