Commuters faced major disruptions during Monday morning's rush hour in Chicago due to an "unauthorized person on the tracks" on the CTA Brown and Purple lines. Service came to a standstill as authorities addressed the situation, resulting in over an hour's delay, NBC Chicago reported.
The incident unfolded near North Franklin and West Illinois streets in River North, just before 8 a.m., when video footage captured a man on the tracks adjacent to a halted train, as per ABC7 Chicago.
While emergency crews attended the scene, Chicago police tactical teams resorted to using a ladder to engage with the individual, who was eventually taken into custody, ABC7 Chicago confirmed. No injuries were reported.
