In a heart-wrenching incident that has shocked the Chicago community, a pregnant woman named Nina and her husband were assaulted by teenagers in the city’s Streeterville neighborhood. Tragically, Nina lost her baby as a result of the brutal attack.

The assault took place on a Friday evening near the intersection of Grand Avenue and McClurg Court. According to reports from USA Today and Fox News, the couple was attacked by two juveniles, a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, who have since been taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor battery. The police responded to the battery call around 9:00 p.m.

Nina and her husband were caught off guard by the assault. Nina recounted the horrifying details of the attack, stating that she was pepper-sprayed, kicked, and punched by the perpetrators. Her husband was also attacked and held down, prompting him to urgently tell Nina to run away to safety. The attackers told Nina that they "own the street" and criticized her dress, making the incident even more unsettling.

The random attack left the couple traumatized and physically injured. Nina shared photos of her injuries, which included a chunk of her hair pulled out and an abrasion. The couple was not robbed during the assault, making the attack appear entirely unprovoked.

Aside from the physical injuries, the emotional toll on Nina and her husband has been devastating. Losing their unborn child to such senseless violence is an unimaginable tragedy. The attackers' actions have left a deep scar not only on Nina and her husband but also on the wider community that values safety and compassion.

This tragic incident underscores the pressing need for addressing youth violence and ensuring that such unprovoked assaults are met with appropriate legal action and community support for the victims. The bereaved couple now faces the arduous task of healing from both the physical and emotional wounds inflicted by this senseless act of violence.
