CHICAGO (STMW) -- Police are looking for a man who robbed a West Side Garfield Park neighborhood store at gunpoint on Tuesday night and sexually assaulted two women who were inside before he escaped.

Just before 8 p.m. Tuesday, the man entered a store in the 4000 block of West Madison Street armed with a handgun and ordered three victims to a back room, according to an alert from Harrison Area detectives.

He is described as a black man 19-24, 5-foot-5 and 150 pounds. He was wearing a blue ski mask, dark blue jacket with shiny buttons, blue shirt, black jeans, gym shoes and gloves, police said. He was armed with a small, silver semi-automatic handgun.
