A group of men beat a CTA passenger during a robbery attempt on a Loop L platform, Chicago police said Friday in a community alert. CPD’s Mass Transit Unit released surveillance photos of the men who are allegedly responsible for the attack.
Police said the group approached a 30-year-old man at the Clark-Lake elevated platform and demanded his property around 10 p.m. on August 20. When the victim refused to comply, one of the men beat him, according to the community alert.
Police released surveillance images of four men, apparently taken at the Central Green Line station before or after the downtown attack, and asked the public to help investigators identify the suspects. The men are about 18-years-old, according to the alert.
Anyone with information about the men can contact detectives at 312-745-4443 regarding case #JE-344671.
