A woman on a Chicago Transit Authority bus traveling in the heart of the Magnificent Mile downtown was stabbed in the head by a woman she'd never seen before, officials said Monday.
[post_ads]About 10:15 p.m. on Easter Sunday, police were called to the 600 block of North Michigan Avenue in the Near North neighborhood for a report that a woman had been stabbed.
Police quickly learned the 30-year-old woman was seated toward the rear of the bus and another woman was sitting behind her. In a statement, police said the 30-year-old did not speak with the woman sitting behind her and there was no interaction between the women before the woman behind her stabbed the 30-year-old in the back of the head with an "unknown object inside of a glove," officials said.
The woman who was injured had a minor cut, police said, and she later refused additional medical treatment.
Police said it is possible the offender is homeless and that she exited the bus and started walking south on Michigan Avenue. Detectives continue to investigate.
