A chilling Chicago Police Department alert describes the story of a woman who, with her baby in hand, was kidnapped at gunpoint and raped on March 27.

Early Easter, around 4 a.m., a woman left her car with her child in the East Garfield area, near the 200 block of North Kenneth Avenue, where she was approached by a man with a gun, according to authorities.

The man allegedly forced the woman back into the vehicle, along with her child, and proceeded to drive the woman and her baby south for a mile, down to the intersection of Congress and Kolmar avenues. He then sexually assaulted the woman before fleeing the vehicle, leaving the victim and child behind, authorities said.

Chicago police are still searching for the perpetrator. The man was described in a community alert as a middle-aged black man, wearing mostly nondescript clothing except for a possible North Face jacket.
