CHICAGO — A man was stabbed multiple times following an altercation on a CTA Red Line train.
The stabbing happened on a Red Line train in the 0-100 block of West 95th Street around 11:50 p.m. Tuesday.
The police department notified Algonquin Community School District 300.
Algonquin Middle School and Eastview Elementary School were both placed on a soft lockdown facilitated by a school resource officer.
“This was a purely preventive measure and there was no threat posed to students or staff,” Markham told Lake and McHenry County Scanner.
Police said the offender also sustained lacerations to the hands and was transported to the same hospital in good condition.
Area Two detectives are investigating the incident at this time. A knife was recovered from the scene.
This stabbing happened just hours before another stabbing at a CTA Orange Line station where a man was also stabbed several times.
