An international student studying in Chicago said he may drop out and move back home after he was beaten and robbed on a CTA train early Sunday morning.
Shubham Patil, an international student from India studying cyber security at Roosevelt University’s downtown campus, said he was attacked while taking the Red Line home from a late-night study session with classmates over the weekend.
He said he felt nervous immediately as the man who attacked him stepped onto the train at the Belmont station.
“He comes from first car to second car, and he is standing beside me,” Shubham said. “He is targeting me I believe because I’m just talking with my grandma on the phone in my own language. Then, he just starts punching me over and over with his legs and knees. Somebody presses the help button, and the driver says move to another car. I’m just screaming like I’m mad, ‘help me, help me.’ But nobody tried to help me.”
Shubham said when he got off at the Clybourn stop, the man was still attacking him.
He said he managed to call 911 and the police showed up a short time later.
The Chicago Transit Authority said in a statement that “another passenger not involved in the disturbance activated the Passenger Intercom Unit (PIU) and spoke with the train operator, who requested police for assistance at the next stop. CPD arrived less than 10 minutes after the incident was reported.”
He said the thief got away with his gold chain, a gift from his parents.
“Right now, I’m thinking about dropping out for this semester and going back to my country because I do not feel safe here,” he said. “God bless him. I forgive him, but please don’t do this to another international student anyone else.”
Chicago Police told NBC Chicago that no one is in custody and Area Three detectives are investigating.
