Two men were robbed at gunpoint hours apart early Monday near the Irving Park neighborhood.
The first victim, 62, was walking on a sidewalk on Cornelia near Pulaski when three men stepped out of a red sedan and approached him about 1:30 a.m., Chicago police said.
They threatened to rob the man at gunpoint before taking his personal belongings and striking him in the face with the gun, police said.
The man refused medical attention at the scene, police said.
About three hours later, a 38-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint less than a mile away, according to police.
Police said the man was leaving a gas station at Belmont and Milwaukee when three men exited a sedan, approached him and began to beat him with a gun.
The robbers stole the man’s wallet and fled, police said.
He refused medical care at the scene, police said.
No one was in custody.
