Prosecutors have charged a man with repeatedly stabbing another man in the Loop on Thursday morning. Jamari Bryant, 26, is scheduled to appear for a detention hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Saturday afternoon.
A CTA worker at the Clark-Lake train station called 911 after they encountered the victim around 7:34 a.m.
Chicago police said the 37-year-old got into an argument with Bryant, who pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the man in the face, neck, and wrist. EMS took the victim to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition.
Officers found Bryant on the L platform and took him into custody. CPD said he also had a cut on his arm, so EMS took him to Northwestern, too.
Prosecutors charged him with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, and aggravated battery in a public place.
