'I was definitely taken by surprise, Dana \u2013 in a big way,' Clinger told CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov.

-- Multiple two violent attacks were reported on the CTA Red Line in fewer than 24 hours – and two of them occurred only half a mile apart.

On Tuesday night, Clinger remained in intensive care after being attacked. He said he never saw it coming. Several hours earlier at 4:40 a.m. Monday, there was another violent attack on the Red Line just a stop to the south. Chicago Police released community alert about a suspect who stabbed and robbed a 44-year-old man on a train at the Belmont station early Monday morning.

Used to go all over the city on public transit. It's unfortunate that no one pays attention to how dangerous the city has become in the last few years.

CharlieDeMar Do not ride the cta Red Line at night! CrookCounty Chicago crime 🙁👎👎 Unpleasant and unsafe city.

Took the red line once some years ago… never again lol

Oh, my gosh! He is a Chicago icon! This is tragic.

I agree the Red Line is scary. I have been on the Red Line, allot.

The commute is rife with seedy individuals. There needs to be more police on the trains and busses. A terrible experience.

It’s a good time to be a lowdown scumbag criminal in Chicago. Armed criminals are set free, even if on probation for other crimes. And the criminals don’t have to obey police orders, because they are immune from the law. Thanks to Cook County judiciary, Mayor Lightfoot, Kim Foxx

Red line Shhhhhit I would never take the Red line a memo need to be circulating about that train....I rather walk 🚶‍♂️ smh speedy recovery.

The Wild Chicago host. 😞 Hope he's going to be okay.

😲🤬
