Guy on subway gets naked then runs from cops

Police and Chicago Transit Authority security guards said they had quite a struggle when a passenger on a North Side elevated train allegedly went berserk, stripped his clothes off and broke out a train car window.

Authorities say 18-year-old Victor Thornton of Chicago became agitated on the Red Line train yesterday morning. When the train was stopped because of the disturbance, Thornton allegedly stripped and punched out the window.

Police who arrived on the scene said they tried to subdue Thornton with pepper spray and a Taser, but he fought them off before escaping through the rear of the train.

He was eventually arrested on the street a short distance away and booked on nine criminal charges, including aggravated battery to an officer. Article here.
