CHICAGO (WBBM) – Chicago Police are using video that has just recently surfaced on the Internet to try to solve an assault at a near north side CTA station.

The video shows a young man and an older man exchanging words at the Chicago Avenue Red Line Station. Then the younger man is seen throwing a right uppercut and the older man falls backward to the ground. Then the younger man is seen getting on a train and laughing about the assault with friends, as a woman on the platform went to the man’s aid.

LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s David Roe Reports

The assault is believed to have happened in April. Police say they are still trying to find the people involved.

The video can be seen here:

One suggestion: I’d like to see the CTA continuously play this video on the screens on every el platform in the city, asking “Do you recognize these people?” Someone is bound to recognize them.

I am staying out of Chicago. What a cesspool of vile, disgusting people. Why would any normal person want to live there? Besides these nasty people, there is all the corruption and high taxes!

I was very upset when I watched the video – It’s because of heartless animals like this assole and his buddies is why I left Chicago. I’m afraid to carry a gun, I’d use it on the way home from the gun store.
