EISENHOWER EXPY. — Officers responded to a call of a person with a knife on a Blue Line train on Tuesday morning, causing a disruption in service.
The incident happened about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday near the UIC-Halsted stop of the Blue Line. Officers responded to a report of a person with a knife, said Officer Jose Estrada.
An officer on the scene said the man "pulled a knife on the train conductor." It was not immediately clear what led to the incident or the status of the conductor.
Police surrounded a man on the platform, who had zip ties around his wrists, which were behind his back. However, Estrada said the man was not taken into custody.
