CTA security guard robbed at gunpoint

If the security guards aren’t safe on CTA, what does that mean for the rest of us?

A CTA security guard was reportedly robbed at gunpoint at a downtown train station.

The robbery occurred around 1:30 a.m. on the platform at the Randolph/Wabash “L” station at 151 North Wabash Avenue.

The station services the Pink, Green, Brown, Orange, and Purple Lines.

The only information I have on the gun-toting offender, is that he was wearing a black “skull cap”.

After the robbery, the suspect ran eastbound on Randolph Street, then northbound on Michigan Avenue.

Police are investigating.

    All I can say is we are F@#KED! I did see a k9 unit at a station the other day. Perhaps the CTA should be more concerned about the crime on their trains at at their stations than renovating the businesses at the stations...first things first! Here's a thought, find a different way to get to where you're going...the trains are easy pickings for these ghetto thugs!

    I think a CTA security guard being robbed on CTA property says a lot about the severity of crime on mass transit. Too bad mainstream media doesn't agree. If they did, this story would have been all over the news.

    the gun is very useful to the security officers.
