Security Stops Sexual Assault at Milwaukee Intermodal Station as Guard Fires One Shot

Officials said the state-owned hub relies on private contractors for security.

Overview

  • Station security found a 31-year-old assaulting a 33-year-old in a bathroom and fired one shot during a struggle that did not hit anyone.
  • Milwaukee police arrested the suspect at the scene and said their investigation remains active.
  • The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing potential charges against the man.
  • Police limited access to parts of the station during forensic work, and Amtrak said trains kept running as some arrivals unloaded outside the active scene.
  • Wisconsin’s transportation department said the state owns the station but private contractors handle daily operations and security, and Amtrak said it does not oversee security at the facility.
