A man was found beaten to death on a CTA train platform in the Loop late Saturday, according to Chicago Police.
Around 10:25 p.m., a 56-year-old man was involved in a fight with another male on a train platform in the 100 block of West Lake Street, police said. The man “sustained trauma to the head” and was later discovered unresponsive by members of the Chicago Fire Department. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
CTA platforms are covered by an extensive network of surveillance cameras, and a suspect was taken into custody, police said. Charges were pending Sunday morning.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed the fatality Sunday morning, but the man’s identity was not yet released.
