One person was injured on Sunday night after an elderly man crashed through the glass storefront of Lincoln Park's Apple store.
Emergency responders were called around 6:30 p.m. to the store at 801 W. North Ave., said a spokesman for Chicago Police News Affairs. Moments earlier, a dark-colored Lincoln Town Car had driven through the glass, coming to a stop inside.
"At that point I hear tires screeching and then I turned around and I looked and saw this car coming into the store. I saw it still coming so I ran so I could get out of the way because I thought it was going to hit me," a witness said, according to ABC.
