The police said that the transit worker was arrested on charges of attempted murder and an unlawful use of a weapon.
A worker with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) shot a man at a train station during an argument on Saturday in another instance of gun violence that has plagued the city. The incident was caught on a cellphone camera, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The footage, which was reportedly posted online, showed customer assistant Sylvester Adams,53, arguing with the 37-year-old victim before shooting him. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the cellphone footage showed the man shoving Adams and knocking him down to the ground before walking away. Adams then gets up, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gun. He then follows the man, who goes down a set of stairs, and fires several times at him. The CTA and the Chicago Police Department didn’t verify the video to Newsweek on Sunday.
