Chicago police said happened on South Aberdeen and West Madison just before 3:30 p.m.

She said the thief was not armed and didn’t physically harm her. The suspect just grabbed the mail and fled, police said, eastbound on Madison Street.

Police and a postal inspector were seen speaking with the mail carrier, who did not want to speak with ABC7 on-camera.
