CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man trying to buy a cellphone in Lakeview ended up needing to call 911 instead on Tuesday.
Chicago Police said at 12:30 p.m., the 24-year-old victim met up with a woman in the 2900 block of North Lincoln Avenue – between the three-way intersections with Southport and Wellington avenues and with Lakewood Avenue and George Street.
