A 17-year-old girl is facing felony charges after police say she stabbed and critically injured a woman during a fight outside the 69th Street Red Line station on Friday evening.
Witnesses reported seeing a fight break out between the teenager and a 20-year-old woman around 5:55 p.m.. During the struggle, police said, the teen pulled out a “sharp object” and stabbed the victim twice in the torso.
Officers assigned to the CPD Transit Unit were nearby and quickly arrested the 17-year-old at the scene. The woman was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.
The girl is charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm. Police have not released her name due to her age.
