CHICAGO - A man was arrested after allegedly stabbing a security guard to death Saturday at an apartment complex in Washington Park on the South Side.
The 43-year-old suspect was trying to break out multiple windows about 2:05 a.m. in the courtyard of the building in the 6200 block of South King Drive, Chicago police said.
When the 53-year-old security guard confronted him, the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the guard in the torso, police said.

The suspect ran away but was taken into custody by responding officers, police said. Area One detectives are investigating.
