A man who reportedly wore a Batman face mask while he attempted to rob another man in Edgewater was arrested after he crashed the car he was driving into two vehicles in Rogers Park as he fled the scene, according to NBC-5 Chicago.
The man, reportedly in his 30s, was wearing a Batman face mask when he approached another man near the intersections of North Clark Street and West Catalpa Avenue and attempted to rob him on Halloween, Lincoln District police told NBC-5.

He was arrested at the car crash scene about 10:50 p.m., NBC-5 reports.
No one was hurt in the entire incident, police said.
