CHICAGO — Mass transit detectives need help identifying two men who Chicago police say robbed a passenger at knifepoint on the Red Line. It happened on a northbound train near Morse around 3 p.m. Tuesday, April 4.
Police said one of the men in these CTA surveillance images “verbally confronted” the victim while sitting across from him on the train. When the victim responded, the second man threatened him with a knife and took his backpack and phone, according to a bulletin released by CPD on Sunday afternoon.
The victim exited the train at Morse to get help, but the two men continued riding northbound, according to a related police report.
