• About 14 minutes after the assault, a 60-year-old reported her running SUV was taken from a McDonald's after the driver threatened a 3-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy inside.
• Chicago police said the suspect fled in a 2024 Kia Telluride, and no injuries were reported to the children or the SUV's owner.
