Woman shares 'horrific,' 'unprovoked' sexual attack from motorcyclist

A woman's social media post alleging that a male motorcyclist sexually abused her and knocked her husband unconscious Saturday afternoon in one of Ukrainian Village's busiest intersections has stirred alarm throughout the community, with some residents recalling similar stories about clashes with motorcyclists on the neighborhood's streets.

The 33-year-old woman, who asked to remain anonymous, posted in a private neighborhood Facebook group that a man on a motorcycle or similar two-wheeled motorized vehicle groped her buttocks at 4 p.m. on the southeastern corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Division Street while she and her husband were riding their bicycles.

She said the man, who was traveling with another male motorcyclist, reached for her in a "disgusting, sexual way." When her 35-year-old husband chased after the assailant on his bicycle, she says, the man punched and kicked him until her husband was "splayed out on the street and unresponsive."

Chicago police said they received the woman and man's report and are investigating the matter.
