A pair of attacks on CTA Red Line property this week are causing fresh concerns among residents and commuters, and NBC 5’s Christian Farr has the details.
Chicago police released a photo Tuesday of a man suspected of stabbing and robbing another man on a Red Line train Monday in Lake View.
The attacker allegedly approached a 44-year-old man about 2:40 a.m. at the Belmont stop in the 900 block of West Belmont Avenue and stabbed him with a knife before taking his property, police said.
The suspect was described as 30 to 35 years old, police said.
Anyone with information was asked to call Area One detectives at 312-745-4443.
Later Monday evening, another man was attacked during an attempted robbery at the Addison Red Line stop blocks away in Wrigleyville.
