A crazed man stabbed a 27-year-old woman in the chest in an unprovoked attack on a train platform on Saturday night in the 400 block of S. Halsted Street.
“On November 8, 2025, at approximately 11:14 p.m. The above pictured subject produced a large knife from his backpack while on the platform, approached a female seated on a bench on the platform, and stabbed the female causing her to sustain a laceration to the chest,” Chicago PD said in a community alert.
“The unknown male subject then left the property walking northbound on S. Morgan St,” the police said.
The unidentified suspect is still at large.
Fox News reported:
Chicago police are on the hunt for a man who they say stabbed a woman in the chest without provocation on a train platform near the University of Illinois Chicago Saturday night.
The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was sitting on a bench at the train station when he allegedly approached her and plunged the knife into her chest at the UIC-Halsted Blue Line platform.
The woman suffered a minor injury and was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, a police spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The suspect, described as a Black male who stands about 6 feet tall and weighs between 160 and 180 pounds, left on foot, headed northbound on South Morgan Street, according to city police.
Saturday night’s stabbing in Chicago comes just months after Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was fatally stabbed on the light rail in North Carolina.
34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered Iryna Zarutska over the summer by stabbing her multiple times on the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail as bystanders did nothing.
Decarlos Brown Jr.’s criminal rap sheet, with arrests dating back to 2007.
Horrifying video of the senseless murder shows Zarutska seated on the Metro scrolling through her phone before Decarlos Brown begins stabbing her. Decarlos Brown then walks away, leaving a trail of blood.
The DOJ is seeking the maximum punishment which is life in prison or death.
“A federal criminal complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Charlotte today, charging Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., 34, with a federal crime in connection with the fatal attack of Iryna Zarutska on the city’s light rail system. Brown is charged with one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system,” the DOJ recently announced.
“Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream — her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
