Chicago police have released a new surveillance image of the man who allegedly committed an indecent act while riding the Brown Line in Lincoln Park last month.
In a community alert issued in April, CPD said investigators released a photo of a man wearing a surgical mask who was involved in the incident aboard a train around 3:30 p.m. on April 13 near the Diversey station. The alert did not provide details about what occurred or say whether anyone was victimized.
Now, CPD has released an image of the man without the mask. They described him as White and said he was wearing a black-and-white hat, a white-and-black polo shirt, black shorts, and black-and-white shoes. He was carrying a black backpack.
Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact CPD’s Public Transportation Unit at 312-745-4447 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com using case number JK216731.

CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
