Report: Christmas attack at Belmont ‘L’ station
On Christmas day, a female CTA passenger was assaulted at a North Side Lakeview neighborhood train station, said police.
According to police dispatch reports, the battery, which was reported around 1:20 p.m., occurred at the Belmont "L" stop at 945 West Belmont Avenue.
The victim was exiting a southbound Red Line train when a black female wearing a hat with the words “Happy Holidays” printed on it, punched the victim in the face, said authorities.
Investigators said the assailant, who stayed on the train after the attack, was riding with four or five other people.
The offender is believed to be in her early 20s, about 5’6’ with a slender build.
If you spot anyone matching this description on CTA, please contact the authorities, immediately.

I guess the youth was thanking her for voting Obama?
ReplyDelete^Actually, that was a good one. Should have seen the one raising a toast to Obamacare last month. What he doesn't realize is that he works for the target business model for his hours to be reduced to 28/wk. in the near future.
ReplyDeleteWe should force them all to ride on the last car...
ReplyDelete^ They do anyway. I always avoid the last car. There's ALWAYS mischief on them. The last car is where the gays do their wierdo, shifty eye glares, crotch rubbin', subhuman hook-up stuff too. Just like the buses. Always thought that was funny that they fought to ride in the front of the bus but still go straight to the back to do sneaky/dirty stuff anyway.....like spit those sunflower seed shells.
ReplyDeleteYou want to see something or five that makes you ill, go to the Belmont Red Line around 3am on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteNot just the usual Boystown invasion, either, all kinds of things that make you question your faith in humanity.
That's the old Belmont station. You need to use a photo of the new one.
