Elderly Asian man gets hit in the head after getting robbed by kids on Chicago train 

A brutal robbery on the Chicago El captured on video shows an elderly man bleeding profusely after two assailants looted his pockets for money before one hit him on the head with a full wine bottle.

The victim is shown on the red line just after 2 a.m. on Sept. 24, when a bearded man and another suspect in a ski mask confront him on the Chicago Transit Authority train as it heads toward 95th Street/Dan. Ryan station.

The bearded aggressor and his partner surround the man, demand his identification, then begin knocking on the victim’s pockets, causing him to retreat.

‘Where’s your wallet,’ says an attacker. “Show me your ID.”

The other says, “Can I get $5?”

One of the attackers takes a full bottle of white wine from his jacket pocket while the other puts his hand in it and takes out some cash and what appears to be cards.

It is unclear why the suspect decided to attack his victim, who had already been stripped of his money and cards

The other robber drops the wine bottle and the two thieves start bickering over the small score.

The victim, who seems to be unsteady on his feet in the early morning of Chicago, tries to get his things back, but loses his balance and sits back on the bench of the transit car.

For no reason, the robber in the ski mask picks up the wine bottle from the floor and places it on the man’s head, while witnesses in the nearly empty car scream in shock.

‘Oh, my Goooood,’ shouts a witness.

The victim grabs his head with his hands while two other subway offenders – a woman in a flaming red wig and a man in a green hoodie, appear in the video frame and are drawn to the man counting the money he has lifted from his prey .

The camera shifts back to the victim, whose head appears split open and a pool of blood forms on the floor of the train car.

“Charmaine,” the witness says, appearing to address the woman in the wig. ‘He is bad. He’s bleeding.’

At that point, the train comes to a stop at 95th Street/Dan Ryan station.

“That’s why I don’t ride the Redline,” wrote Teshaun Terry, who posted the video on Facebook. You are safe on the CTA at night ️

Terry, who did not respond to MailOnline’s request for an interview, added: ‘Yall can help find this disgusting man’ [sic]. They said they always do this.’

Chicago Police Department and the CTA are asking for the public’s help in finding the two attackers.

“This kind of behavior is absolutely reprehensible and should not happen to any CTA customer,” officials told the Fox News Chicago. “CTA began working closely with CPD immediately after the incident was reported, including sharing relevant video footage from our security camera system.”

Chicago, which has a reputation for gun violence, has seen a 15 percent drop in homicides from the year before in the past month and a similar 18 percent drop in shootings.

Overall, however, crime has increased by 37 percent from 2021 and violent crimes such as robberies have increased by 6 percent, according to police statistics.

Chicago police said the victim, seen here bleeding profusely, is now in good condition

The Chicago Police Department had no information about what was stolen. Police said they are looking for four men for the attack, although it is not clear from the video that four men were involved. The victim is recovering from the attack.

“Once I’ve finished watching, as you saw, it’s painful to watch,” Chicago Ald. Raymond Lopez told NBC News Chicago. “You feel the pain.”

He called on the mayor to put more agents in transit.

“We now need to re-establish a separate transit police, riding the trains and walking platforms, to bring back the safety of public transport,” he said on Twitter.

Public transit passengers said they were afraid to use Second City’s transit system because of increased crime on the line.

“Actually, I have anxiety and it really hits me that I’m alone on the train,” CTA rider Breann Carroll told ABC 7 Chicago. ‘It’s just a lot and I’m a little scared for my life. But I don’t really have any other way to get to work, so what do you do?’

Crime on the system jeopardizes the economic stability of the middle class, a Chicagoan said.

“You’re trying to go to work, pay your taxes and pay your bills, and this is what you’re going through?” Activist Bishop Anthony Scales told ABC. ‘Every day? When will it change?’
