Milwuakee, WI - On Friday, a woman standing with four men outside the Madre Angela Clinic building, 1308 S. Cesar E. Chavez Drive just after 2:46 p.m. became a victim of a failed purse snatcher. The woman along with a man and a doctor all from Chicago were in Milwaukee looking for a place to open up the doctor's practice. They were accompanied by a Milwaukee man who was showing them the Latino neighborhood.
Another man happened to stop by and began talking to them about their posibility to open a medical practice business in S. Chavez Dr. when a Black male at about 2:47 p.m. walking South passed by them and tried to snatch a purse from the woman standing with four men.
The suspect fell along with the woman in front of the clinic building and when the four men reacted, the suspect quickly stood up and ran without the purse. Two of the men were just seconds from grabbing him, but the suspect gained ground and fled South on Chavez Dr.
He went East on W. Greenfield Ave. and disappeared, but the outside camera at Envisions clothing store caught an image of the fleeing suspect.
A police report was filed and the woman reported she was cut in the right side of the head and was treated at the clinic.
Now, the doctor is having second thoughts about opening up his medical practice in the area. He wanted to open his practice on Chavez Dr. because he thought it was a quiet and tranquil business district.
