Chicago police appealed for the public’s help Wednesday in identifying a suspect wanted for numerous slashings on public transportation since last month, as authorities say the man captured in surveillance footage has repeatedly wielded a hammer in his attacks against bus and metro riders.
The Bureau of Counter-Terrorism Public Transportation released a community alert seeking to identify the man wanted for aggravated battery on trains, buses or other Chicago Transportation Authority property. Police said he’s known to "utilize a hammer during commission of said incidents."
The first attack reported to police happened at 3:27 p.m. on July 21 on a bus at 3550 W. Addison St.

He targeted his next victim on the Green Line Platform at West Lake Street around 11:10 a.m. on Aug. 6. Still no arrests were made in connection to the incidents, allowing who detectives believe to be the same suspect to strike again at midnight on Aug. 13 in the Red Line Platform at State Street. The man has been tied to a fourth attack at 2:07 a.m. on Aug. 18 on the Red Line Platform at West Addison Street.
