Chicago police early Tuesday were searching for the attacker who stabbed two people on a CTA Red Line station platform on the city’s South Side.<\/p>\n
The victims were found near the 69th Street Red Line stop along the Dan Ryan Expressway.<\/p>\n
Police said at 10:53 p.m. Monday, a man and woman got into a fight with an attacker at the station. During the fight, the attacker pulled a sharp object and stabbed the man and woman.<\/p>\n
Officers found the 37-year-old woman on the CTA station platform with a puncture wound to the right side of her chest. They found the 24-year-old man with a puncture wound to the upper back.<\/p>\n
Both victims were taken to the emergency room at the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition, police said.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed police detectives investigating an ‘L’ train car and the platform at the 69th Street stop.<\/p>\n
Chicago police said no one was in custody Tuesday morning, and Wentworth Area detectives were investigating.<\/p>\n
The stabbing happened as ongoing crimes on the Chicago Transit Authority system have caught the attention of the federal government.<\/a><\/p>\n The feds ordered the CTA to come up with a stronger safety plan<\/a> or risk losing as much as $50 million in federal funding.<\/a><\/p>\n The CTA has until mid-March to respond.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago police early Tuesday were searching for the attacker who stabbed two people on a CTA Red Line…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":497178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,54650,136665,39332,5386,1818,7358],"class_list":{"0":"post-497177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-chicago-transit-authority","10":"tag-dan-ryan","11":"tag-dan-ryan-expressway","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-illinois","14":"tag-stabbing"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115849801575913202","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
