'Wild Travels' host Will Clinger describes how he was attacked and robbed on the CTA Red Line Monday evening as he headed downtown to meet a friend.
TV host Will Clinger has had 48 hours to heal from the assault that happened to him on the Red Line Monday evening as he headed downtown to meet a friend. He got on at Thorndale, and as the train pulled into Addison, things got, well, wild.
The thieves got away on a night when police said there was another incident near Thorndale, a robbery of a female passenger. CTA said those unarmed guards"are trained in de-escalation techniques and are an added layer of trained eyes/ears... for reporting incidents to police." He was mugged years ago on the Washington DC transit system but he said, with some levity, that this was worse.
