You’ll Never Guess What a Woman Was Attacked With on a Chicago Train; ‘I Wish He Had Just Hit Me’

Police say this man is their “person of interest” in the feces attack. Anyone with information should call the Oak Park Police Department’s crime tip hotline at 708-434-1636. (Source: NBC Chicago)
A woman’s train ride on the Chicago Transit Authority’s Blue Line from Oak Park to Chicago turned into a nightmare last week when she was attacked by a random passenger with a sock filled with human feces, the Pioneer Press reports.
“He had a sock full of his poop on me,” the 21-year-old female college student told the Press. “It was everywhere; on my face, my hair, my clothes.”
The college student said she was riding an east-bound train from Oak Park to Chicago when the incident occurred last week. The woman, who has requested anonymity, said she screamed after being attacked and tried to follow the assailant but he escaped on foot.
“The guy got on with me at [the] Oak Park [station],” she explained. “I wasn’t really paying attention. … “Next stop [at Austin], he throws something in my face.”
Needless to say, the woman was disgusted and horrified.
“It was like the biggest degradation I’ve ever [experienced]. I wish he had just hit me,” she said.
She continued: “The worst part is nobody had anything to wipe my face with,” she said. However, she was able to find some newspapers before paramedics got to the scene. The paramedics reportedly provided her with towels and water.
More from NBC Chicago:
Oak Park Police Commander Ladon Reynolds said officers responded by searching for the man in and around a gas station at Harrison Street, but did not find him. Reynolds said police retrieved a photo of a “person of interest” matching the description the woman and other witnesses gave. That man was videotaped on the Austin platform.
“We have photos of the offender and we’re seeking to identify him,” Reynolds said of images obtained from the CTA. “We’ve reached out to other [police] agencies and have issued a bulletin.”
CTA spokesman Catherine Hosinski said the transit agency has “several high definition video cameras” at each station.
The woman, who said she has a copy of a photo of her assailant taken by a CTA security camera, described her assailant as a black man no older than mid-20s, average build, with facial hair above the mouth and on the chin. She said he wore a hooded sweatshirt and ball cap that partly obscured his face.
What really surprised the woman was the randomness of the assault. She said she had never met her attacker and they never spoke to each other on the train.
“I don’t know why he did it,” she added. “I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have done that to a guy.”
The brave college student is still able to ride the CTA after the traumatic experience but she is more aware of her surroundings now.

Posted on December 20, 2012 at 12:56pmThis is a result of OBAMA’S racial slurs/racial divide efforts. HE has created a group of people who hate us just for our color (white) and for no other reason. Most Americans (white) have never done anything to hurt people of another color. Life is tough. People work hard/study hard. These people hate the slave trade and weren’t even around then (20 generations ago) … THIS has got to stop. Obama got elected (two times) with the white vote and yet there is still this type of hatred?
Next candidate for President has to be a REAL MAN who can talk to ALL AMERICANS and try to reverse this childish, silly, detrimental, nation-splitting racism. That’s why many people still believe Obama is the Anti-Christ…here to ruin America and to divide us making it easier for his Muslim thugs to conquer. I rest my case. Sorry for this young lady. I hope she has a big canister of pepper spray with her at all times. This is HATRED walking…hatred initiated and generated by Obama.

Posted on December 20, 2012 at 10:18pmMany law-abiding citizens use their socks for personal defense and to stop crimes. The assault weapons bad should only include socks that are bigger than size 9. Nobody needs that much poop.
A tube sock can be a dangerous weapon if it is filled with a sealed soda can or a lot of parking meter money. Terrorists can use a tube sock to knock out the flight crew and hijack an airplane. Panty hose can be use to tie-up the flight crew and strangle the co-pilot. The ventilated panel can be used to blindfold hostages.
Now I will be on the “no-fly list” for sure.

Posted on December 20, 2012 at 12:56amIsn’t poop-socking a hate crime, if a person of one color does it to another? I know it’s not a crime for a black person to assault a white person, but poop-socking? Man, that could transfer HIV, Hepatitis, Typhoid, Diphtheria, etc. the CDC should charge him, if nobody else. I knew, when I read the words in the head-line, “attack” and “Chicago” to know the attacker was black. It’s just a fact of percentages. The percentage of the odds are very good that if you get attacked in Chicago, it will be by a young, black man.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 9:46pmI think we need to ban all POOPING IN SOCKS , Make a law that we can only buy socks that only go as high as the ankel,the average turd would not fit into a smaller sock , and only make white socks. That way if the sock does contain said poop we can spot the skid marks on the sock, and totally ban BROWN SOCKS. And I think that Joe Biden should form a commitee and reach some kind of agreement on this by the first of the year. Where the heck is Bloomberg on this ????? And still not a peep out of obama on this !!!!!! If we could only get the LAMESTREAM MEDIA to pick up this story and run it over and over and over and over and over we could BRAINWASH the people to only get the ankel socks………..

Just to state the obvious to a leftwing troll.
A person was assaulted with a deadly weapon. Excrement has bacteria & viruses in it. If the woman had a scratch or acne, then the pathogens had an entry route (not to mention the mucous membrane around the eyes (eyes themselves), mouth & nose).
If the criminal is caught, he should be tested to see what pathogens he has.

What brought about this sudden spate of new Lefty Trolls, who act as i they know everything about theBlaze and the people on it? Did you guys get marching orders to create two or three usernames each? Or did you all decide to switch sites to get some newer, dumber blood on here.
I didn’t see anything raaaacist about what IMPROVISE or WALKABOUT had to say. In fact, WALKABOUT and I agree on the disease he could have had in the poop-sock, such as HIV, Hepatitis, Diphtheria, Typhoid, plus a host of other bacteria. Some people have been convicted and jailed for throwing, or spitting what could have held AIDS. This is a serious crime, that could possibly hold a death sentence for the victim, if the poop-sock has HIV in it. That’s attempted murder.
And, BTW, the raaaacist thing doesn’t bother us, the boy has cried “wolf” too many times. Hater.
