Chilling moment attackers choose their victim as he innocently walks past them before they brutally beat him to the ground to steal his backpack as he screams for them to ‘get the f*** off’

A gruesome video has emerged showing the moment an innocent man was jumped by two opportunistic robbers in broad daylight on a Chicago street in the latest disturbing crime to take place in the Democratic-led Windy City.

The incident happened Monday in the Bucktown section of the city.

The video begins by showing the two attackers wandering through an alley. Finally, at 2:55 p.m., the victim, 33, casually walks past his attackers while eating a slice of pizza.

The man is then ambushed as an attacker throws him against a fence. Despite being outnumbered and ambushed, the victim fights back, repeatedly telling the attackers, “Get the hell off me!”

He eventually wrestles one of the attackers to the ground around some nearby trash cans. At that moment the other attacker says, “Let it go!”

The two are able to make off with his backpack and what appears to be a cell phone.

This was said by a witness who can be seen on the video in a car across the street CBS Chicago that she honked repeatedly in the hope that she could deter the attackers, but they continued the attack.

She added that she stayed with the victim until authorities arrived on the scene. He had bruises but seemed physically fine.

No arrests have been made, Chicago police told the station.

A social media commenter noted that he had been walking through the alley in the video for “years.”

‘This was my alley for years. This isn’t about being poor and desperate. This is cruelty and should be treated as such,” the person wrote.

“Disturbing as hell. It could be me. Violent crime is out of control in Chicago. Lawless, these people. Heartless and lawless. No consequences. This poor man was just minding his own business and his life will never be the same after this kind of attack,” said another commenter.

Chicago Police Department statistics show that the number of robberies in the Bucktown neighborhood has increased by almost 100 percent compared to 2019 and by 53 percent compared to 2022.

Mayor Brandon Johnson was accused by a representative of the area where Monday’s attack occurred of having “no understanding” of how bad crime was in the area

The area’s local representative, Councilor Scott Waguespack, was quoted by CWB Chicago while saying at a local community meeting that the city’s Liberal mayor, Brandon Johnson, “doesn’t understand what’s happening here.” He didn’t understand and he had no answers.’

Just hours after Monday’s robbery, ABC Chicago reported that four armed robberies had occurred in the city in less than three hours. The robbers mainly took mobile phones and wallets.

In addition to these crimes, a group also walked into an AT&T store around 8 p.m. Monday and made off with several items. No injuries were reported in any of the robberies.

There appears to be no end in sight to Chicago’s crime epidemic.

In the Windy City, car thefts have increased 86 percent in the past year – from 42,512 reported incidents in 2022 to 54,983 so far this year.

Overall, this figure has increased by 227 percent since 2019, when 35,711 car thefts were reported.

Murder rates have also risen 19 percent over the past four years under the disastrous administration of Chicago’s last mayor, Lori Lightfoot, while robberies have risen 30 percent.

Ultra-progressive Brandon Johnson previously supported the Defund the Police movement and was widely criticized for his soft-on-crime approach.

He made history when he was elected in May as the first person to oust a presiding mayor in the Democratic-led city since 1983, pledging to make the city a place where “all residents can live free from the threat of violence and work’.

Johnson’s radical approach to policing involves shifting money from enforcement to social services such as housing and education, while taxing the wealthy and local businesses.

His views on crime came into sharp focus in April when he insisted that the city should not “demonize” teenagers for hosting a downtown event that turned hopelessly violent and resulted in several minors being shot.
