A Chicago gym is holding a series of self-defense classes – for free – in response to recent abduction attempts in the West Loop.
On the same day, that suspect – who is a registered sex offender – allegedly beat up a second woman in the 100 block of Roosevelt Road and attacked a third woman on South State Street.
The owner of POW! Gym Chicago says she hopes the classes give people confidence if they find themselves in a similar situation. "I think what we want people to realize is, you know, they can acquire these skills, and it is part of a skill set that has value when you live in the city. I mean, Chicago is an urban environment where we take public transportation. So that's a very different type of lifestyle than someone who maybe lives in Houston where they drive everywhere.
