CHICAGO (WLS) — A 39-year-old Chicago man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly pushing a 23-year-old woman onto the CTA Red Line tracks during the Tuesday morning rush hour in the Gold Coast, CPD said Wednesday morning.
Video obtained by CWB Chicago and shared with ABC7 shows the man run up to the woman as a train approaches and push her from behind in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.
She falls head-first onto the tracks, narrowly missing the electrified third rail. The video freezes for about three seconds, CWB Chicago said, but the woman is then seen jumping to her feet and running off the tracks to safety.
Officials said the woman was standing on the Red Line platform at Chicago Avenue just after 9:30 a.m. when Ashley Goss pushed her onto the tracks. She suffered a cut on her forehead and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, CPD said.
Goss was arrested just before 10:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 0- to 100-block of East Chicago Avenue and charged, CPD said.
