Authorities reportedly released Coleman, 25, on a signature bond hours after he was taken in. But on Sunday, he allegedly struck again.
He is accused of targeting a different woman, age 24, by following her into nearby building and into the elevator, where he ordered her to hand over her belongings, the report states. He later allegedly threatened to harm the woman, who fled down the stairs.
Police reportedly located Coleman using the stolen cell phone and charged him with felony robbery.
Cook County Sheriff's records show Coleman is being held on a $250,000 bond.
