In a disturbing discovery on a CTA train early Thursday morning, a woman was found unresponsive, suffering from severe facial injuries. The incident, which left the woman critically wounded, is being investigated by Chicago police. The unidentified woman was located by CTA employees around 1:35 a.m. near the Roosevelt station in South Loop, displaying cuts and contusions that marred her visage and body.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the woman was found in the first block of East Roosevelt Road on the train. Her critical injuries necessitated immediate transport to Stroger Hospital, where she remains in a precarious state. No immediate details regarding any suspects or motive for the attack have been released, as detectives continue to peel back the layers of this brutal assault.
Info from the FOX32 Chicago report reiterates that Area Three detectives are spearheading the investigation into the chilling incident that unfolded on the public transit system. The condition of the victim remains critical, and the authorities have yet to identify the assailant responsible for the violent encounter. Commuters and city dwellers alike are rattled by the mere thought that such an egregious attack could occur in the ostensibly safe confinement of a train car.
