A stabbing, an aggravated robbery, and an assault on a CTA train operator are three crimes that Chicago Police are no longer investigating.

"It's alarming," said Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 President and Business Agent Eric Dixon, who Zoomed with us Tuesday from Springfield."It does nothing to deter people from doing the things that they're doing now."

Dixon said he hasn't had a chance to talk to the operator pushed on the tracks, but he calls the case being suspended doubly concerning for CTA workers. "We have individuals out here that feel like they can do whatever they want to do and get away with it," Dixon said.status means the case cannot proceed further at this time. That can happen for a variety of reasons, including detectives exhausting all leads currently available," the spokesperson explained."It is not a permanent status and it can be changed if and when more information becomes available.

Police are still seeking such information in other cases. On Tuesday, issued a community alert asking for the public's help in finding a man who stabbed and robbed another man on a Red Line train near the Belmont stop this week.Police said at 4:40 a.m. Monday, the attacker walked up to a 44-year-old man on the train, stabbed him with a knife, forcibly took his property, and ran off.
