Man charged with ‘brutal attack’ at Chicago Union Station after being released on similar charges thanks to cashless bail law

After prosecutors charged Diashun Dixson with randomly attacking two men, including a 64-year-old, at the Chicago French Market in May, a judge ordered him to pay a $10,000 bail deposit to be released on electronic monitoring.

Unable to post bail, he stayed in jail until December. That’s when his attorney, citing the September 18 elimination of cash bail in Illinois, filed a motion and won his release.

Barely a month later, Dixson walked up to a 19-year-old female college student at the Union Station food court and punched her in the face so hard that the impact fractured her nose and caused immediate swelling to her face, prosecutors allege.

He’s back in jail now.

Dixson, 20, was arrested for assault at the Harold Washington Library in the Loop on May 4 and was released from the police station on his own recognizance the next day.

What Chicago cops didn’t know at the time is that, according to prosecutors, Dixson randomly attacked two men at Metra’s Chicago French Market, 117 North Clinton, two days earlier. But he hadn’t been arrested for those attacks yet.

When Metra Police did catch up with Dixson, prosecutors charged him with three felonies: two counts of aggravated battery in a public place and aggravated battery of a victim older than 60.

They said he struck a 44-year-old man in the back of the head at the market on May 2. Also at the market that day, Dixson allegedly struck a 64-year-old man in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. Once the man was down, Dixson kicked him in the head, prosecutors said.

"Dixson, 20, was arrested for assault at the Harold Washington Library in the Loop on May 4"

Can't blame the gifted and talented man. Internet must have gone down.

If he isn’t currently handcuffed to a steel bar set in concrete in a cage, then the system is broken.

He needs a second .45 diameter bung hole right in the middle of his forehead.

That’s why we need to bring back insane asylums. Commit them to the institution for the long term. Don’t expect them to be pretty because they are filled with the violently insane. Better there than on the streets creating havoc for the sane

The only way this will get changed is if the perps start attacking the government folks or their families.

Correct, without this, nothing will improve.
