A CTA worker was hospitalized after being punched and pulled off a bus Tuesday morning in Greater Grand Crossing.
The employee, a 44-year-old woman, was arguing with a woman on a bus about 11 a.m. in the 400 block of East 71st Street when the passenger punched the worker several times, Chicago police said.
The bus rider then grabbed the worker and pulled her off the bus, where the passenger struck the worker several more times before running from the scene, police said.
The victim suffered cuts to her face and was taken to South Shore Hospital in good condition, police said.
No one was in custody.
