Man on pretrial release tried to kill CTA passenger by pushing him onto the tracks: prosecutors – CWB Chicago

A seven-time convicted felon who has been non-compliant with court orders in a pending misdemeanor case tried to kill a man with an intellectual disability by pushing him onto the CTA tracks as a Blue Line train was approaching the station, prosecutors said Wednesday. CTA personnel and a bystander rushed to help the injured man, and the transit worker was able to stop the train and cut power to the third rail.
