Chicago — On Friday evening, a woman was attacked and badly injured on popular Halsted Street in Pilsen.
At 7:15 p.m., a 35-year-old woman got into an argument with another woman and a guy near 23rd and Halsted Streets. The argument became physical when the man pulled out a sharp weapon and stabbed a woman, according to authorities.
