(STMW) -- Chicago Police are questioning a person of interest in connection with the sexual assault of a woman early Saturday after she got off a Red Line train in the North Side Rogers Park neighborhood.
The person turned himself in to detectives at 11 a.m. Monday, the morning after police released surveillance photos of the suspect, according to a Chicago Police source.
