Overview
- A fight on a CTA Blue Line train in the Loop earlier this month left a 36-year-old man with cuts to his neck and left side who was taken to Stroger Hospital in fair condition.
- The assailant pulled a sharp object during the altercation, stabbed the victim, and fled the scene, and the suspect remains at large.
- Chicago police released an image and say the person sought is an African American man wearing a gray hooded sweater with the number 24 on the front, a blue surgical mask, light-colored jeans, and black gym shoes.
- The investigation has been assigned to Public Transportation Detectives and police asked anyone with information to call 312-745-4447 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com using reference number JK280743.
- Authorities say the public release of the photo and clothing details is intended to generate tips that could identify the suspect and help improve safety for CTA riders.
