As violence on CTA trains and platforms continues to increase, Chicago Police issued a community alert Wednesday and released a suspect photo in connection with a robbery that occurred on the CTA Red Line platform earlier this week.
“My instinct just said ‘I need that phone.’ I ran after them,” he said. “The next thing I remember, I’m looking around and there are medical people.”
Clinger, who hosts ‘Wild Travels’ and is the former host of ‘Wild Chicago,’ says that he suffered a brain contusion, and said he isn’t sure what struck him in the head, but it knocked him unconscious.“I suffered facial fractures, black eye, bruising,” he said.“I remained seated and said ‘hey, everything okay,’” he recalled. “And the individual ignored me and then seconds later without even seeing it coming I was attacked by the individual.
Both men say that they are grateful to have survived the scary situations, but that they share the concerns of many about the escalating attacks on CTA property.
