TV host Will Clinger describes attack, robbery on CTA Red Line train: 'I got stitches to prove it'

TV host Will Clinger has had 48 hours to heal from the assault that happened to him on the Red Line Monday evening as he headed downtown to meet a friend. He got on at Thorndale, and as the train pulled into Addison, things got, well, wild.

The thieves got away on a night when police said there was another incident near Thorndale, a robbery of a female passenger. CTA said those unarmed guards"are trained in de-escalation techniques and are an added layer of trained eyes/ears... for reporting incidents to police." He was mugged years ago on the Washington DC transit system but he said, with some levity, that this was worse.

Would be a different situation if cta allowed you to carry a firearm

When is enough enough 🤦‍♂️😢🙏?

But will be vote for Mayor Lightfoot next election?

Head on a swivel in ANY city. This crap has got to stop!

Sorry for your pain

ik ppl dont need pull their phones out their ipads their laptops or anything but I dare yall go telling everyone yall see ... why does this world always have to find someone to pick on . nothing better to do! be funny when it happens to the ones picking on others!

If you pull out a phone on public transportation in the city of Chicago you don't have any common sense whatsoever

Black criminals again. They are empowered in the city of Chicago to commit crimes everywhere because there is a black mayor a black chief of police and a black states attorney Kim Foxx who will simply put them back on the streets to prey on you again

😦

Will I See you Tonight,On a Downtown Train ?

That’s wild indeed.
