A man was stabbed this morning while trying to come to the aid of a woman whose apartment was burglarized in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, police said.




About 9:40 a.m., the woman was in her residence near West Dickens Avenue and North Halsted Street when she heard a burglar inside, police said. A struggle took place in the apartment between the woman and the burglar, who eventually made off with some of her belongings.

Two workmen outside the apartment building, along with another man, apparently aware of the crime in progress, saw the burglar as he fled, police said. One of the men was stabbed during a confrontation with the burglar.

Two of the three people who were involved in the chase talked outside the hospital where the wounded workman was being treated.
