CHICAGO — A stabbing at a CTA station in the Loop left a 21-year-old woman wounded early Friday, police said, as others, according to one witness, ignored the attack on her.

At 12:30 a.m., the woman was standing on the Adams/Wabash platform in the 200 block of South Wabash when she got into an argument with another woman, said Officer Michael Malinowski, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.

The other woman pulled a knife and stabbed the victim in her leg and abdomen, Malinowski said. The victim was taken to Northwestern Hospital, where her condition was not available, but she was listed as "stable," Malinowski said.

No one was in custody in the stabbing.

"All the bystanders and people standing around acted like they were oblivious to the outcry of this woman's distress and her pain," Glenn Jones, who said he witnessed the stabbing, told ABC7.
