Chicago police are actively searching for a suspect involved in the unprovoked stabbing of a woman on a train platform near the University of Illinois Chicago on Saturday night.

The incident occurred when a 27-year-old woman was seated on a bench at the UIC-Halsted Blue Line platform. According to reports, a man approached her and stabbed her in the chest without warning.

Thankfully, the woman sustained only a minor injury and was promptly taken to Stroger Hospital, where she is reported to be in good condition, a police spokesperson informed Fox News Digital.

The suspect is described as a Black male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a weight ranging from 160 to 180 pounds. He was last seen fleeing north on South Morgan Street, as per police accounts.

He was last seen wearing white pants and sneakers, an orange hoodie, brown jacket and pink beanie, carrying a knife and a gray backpack at around 11:15 p.m. on Nov. 8 in a surveillance image obtained by FOX 32 Chicago.

The suspect remained at large as of Tuesday morning.

The case echoes the unprovoked murder of 23-year-old pizzeria worker Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte commuter train in August.

On Aug. 22, a mentally ill suspect with a history of more than a dozen prior charges named Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, allegedly stabbed Zarutska from behind in the neck, in another unprovoked attack caught on video.

More recently, a North Carolina man is accused of stabbing another man on a commuter bus in Charlotte, leaving him seriously injured on Nov. 6, according to the Charlotte Observer.

Separately, federal authorities are touting results from the Trump administration’s crackdown on Chicago crime and illegal immigration.

According to Homeland Security officials, Customs and Border Protection’s Operation Midway Blitz campaign has resulted in a 16% drop in murders, 35% reduction in shootings and 20% fall in transit crime in the Windy City since it kicked off in the second week of September.
