Good Samaritan shares story of helping woman robbed in Chicago alley
CHICAGO -- Crime is an unfortunate part of daily life in Chicago. Shootings, robberies, carjackings, and scams often round out the headlines. It's not every day we hear about someone trying to buck that trend. It's not even suggested by police to intervene or help during a robbery, but Joey Matteis said when he saw a young woman being robbed and dragged through an alley last month in Little Italy, and 'screaming at the top of her lungs,' he did something about it.
I just screamed at the top of my lungs to get away from her, stop.'Matteis said another Good Samaritan also started running down the alley towards the victim, and they both went to help her as the robber ran off.A closer look at the video shows a sport-utility vehicle pulling in just seconds before the attack. The man in the yellow hoodie got out, and waited on the sidewalk for the woman to pass the alley.
