A Chicago man has been arrested for allegedly clobbering a train passenger on the head with a hammer this week, and he is also being investigated in connection with nearly a dozen similar attacks.
Curtis Tyler, 30, was taken into custody just after 6am on Tuesday, less than an hour after police said he struck a 50-year-old man on the head while riding the CTA Red Line train in the 1200 block of North Clark Avenue.
Tyler was booked into jail on charges of aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, theft and public indecency. He was also issued a citation for being in possession of weapons on the train.(snip)
While the Chicago Police Department on Wednesday could not confirm Tyler's involvement in other recent hammer attacks in the area, during his bond hearing this morning prosecutors said he has been tied to no fewer than 11 various offenses on trains and buses, including hammer attacks and robberies, reported CBS Chicago.
Tyler is a convicted felon with an extensive criminal record that dates back to at least 2007. (snip)
During Wednesday's hearing, a judge set Tyler's bond at $350,000 and ordered him placed on electronic monitoring if he makes bail.

Attacks like this makes me think this person wanted to go back to prison
SPJNK.
Citizens, even with concealed carry permits, are not allowed to carry on the CTA.
Don’t worry Kim Foxx will let him out on a recognizance bond.
Was the perp listening to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJag19WoAe0
Before all this woke crap, someone would have dealt with him. And in a place like Chicago, a nice local cop could book him on some minor charge, and right there at the holding cells, make a big show out of thanking him for all the tips. Tell him there is more cash in it for him if he calls back with more.
How many of his 11 hammer attacks were Hate Crimes?
It needs to be discussed.
Was it a silver hammer?🤔
He has probably already been released...
It’s HAMMER time!!
He doesn’t strike me as a Beatles fan.
Did he have a license for that hammer?
I really do not like public transit. When I’ve used busses or subways, it seemed there was frequently at least one person who was tethered to reality by a single line of spittle.
His white supremacy got him out of the previous felonies.
Nah. Let me guess...
“With a history of mental illness”
Or next arrest you make, tell the gangster that Curtis Tyler pointed him out.
at least he is wearing a mask in one photo
I no longer want to be part of any large crowd. For any reason, sports, music, festivals.
And it has nothing to do with pathogens.
But has everything to do with general idiocy. And that includes mass transit.
I used to take it all the time, but I have lost any desire to go into a city, or anywhere where people gather.
I suppose that is one of the goals of the Left, and I am playing into their hands.
Instead of locking up the maniac, there will be “hammer control”.
