23-Feb-20 – A doorman in River North says he was threatened by a food delivery driver who tried to bypass his building’s sign-in procedure.

The 37-year-old man says on January 31 at about 8:10 p.m., a delivery driver arrived in the lobby of one of the towers at Marina City and tried to rush past the security desk.

When the doorman stopped him, the delivery man became irate and said, “I will beat your ass and blow this bitch up.” He then left the building, running south on Dearborn Street.

The doorman described the driver as a black male, about 25 years old, wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. According to Chicago Police Department, he was unable to get the driver’s name, what company he worked for, or who ordered the food.

A CPD detective was unable to reach the doorman by telephone and suspended the case but sent him a letter with instructions.
