Police: Red Line Sexual Assault Claim Unfounded
(CBS) -- Police are now saying a woman's claim that she was sexually assaulted on a CTA train is unfounded, reports WBBM's Mike Krauser.
The 55-year-old woman told police she was sexually assaulted on a Red Line train near the Wilson stop in the Uptown neighborhood at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
She said the man had a knife and she checked herself into Mercy Hospital where police were called.
