According to Chicago police, 23-year-old Trent Prusinski is facing felony charges including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He will be in court for a detention hearing on Tuesday.
On September 2, police said a 37-year-old victim got into a fight with the suspect on a Red Line train around 1:15 p.m. near the Wilson stop, when the suspect pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim several times.
The victim fled from the train at the Wilson stop and ran a short distance to the 4700 block of North Broadway. The victim was then taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition.
Prusinski was arrested on Monday. He is also connected to a separate attack on the Red Line near the Fullerton station in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in early August.
