A street performer was stabbed Tuesday while he was performing in the CTA Red Line station in the Loop.
A woman in her 30s approached the man about 1:35 p.m. at the Jackson station in the 200 block of South State Street and began arguing with him before cutting his arm with a knife, Chicago police said.
The man, 26, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition, police said. A fire department spokesman listed him in serious condition with multiple stab wounds.
The woman was arrested nearby and taken to a hospital for treatment, police said.
The Chicago Transit Authority said in a service alert that trains were briefly delayed at Jackson for an unauthorized person on the tracks and police activity.
