Chicago police are looking for a knife-wielding attacker who fled after stabbing a woman taking out her garbage early Wednesday in West Ridge.
Around 1:20 a.m., the 65-year-old woman was taking out the garbage behind her home in the 6200 block of North Fairfield Avenue when someone dressed in all black wielded a sharp object and attacked her before fleeing, Chicago police said.
The woman suffered cuts to her head and left forearm and was taken to St. Francis Hospital where she was in good condition, police said.
Her attacker was not arrested.
Ald. Debra Silverstein (50th) said she was in contact with authorities and urged residents to be cautious of their surroundings.
“We always have to be careful while we’re out and about, especially that late at night,” Silverstein said. “If you feel uncomfortable or something’s concerning you, or you feel concerned for your life, always call 911.
“We live in a wonderful and very diverse neighborhood where, for the most part, we all get along and respect one another,” Silverstein added. “I will do everything in my power to make sure that this community stays as safe as possible.”
Area 3 detectives were investigating.
