Bystander stabs sexual assault suspect in the Loop, CPD says
CWBChicago ^ | 6/5/26

Posted on 06/06/2026 1:07:46 PM PDT by CFW

Chicago police say a man sexually assaulted a woman as she walked through the Loop on Friday afternoon, but the attack took an unexpected turn when another woman allegedly stabbed the assailant in the eye before officers arrived. A second man who intervened in the confrontation was also cut during the chaos, according to police.

Crime scene tape surrounded the entrance to theWit Hotel at 201 North State Street, where the attack unfolded shortly after 4 p.m., according to witnesses.

Police said a 24-year-old woman was walking on the sidewalk when a 31-year-old man sexually assaulted her. The suspect then became involved in a physical altercation with a 25-year-old man who intervened, CPD said. As the two men fought, a 36-year-old woman at the scene allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the suspected assailant in his right eye. She also cut the other man on his left wrist, according to police.

From the report, it sounds like he was stabbed in the loupe.

I once read a news story of a woman who had been shot and was in stable condition in the hospital ‘’with the bullet lodged in her yet’’.

I wondered where on the human body the ‘’yet’’ was.

If ever attacked and unarmed, don't treat it like a defensive fight, go berserk and go for the eyes and then run.....

I’m glad good people got involved. I was starting to think that was a thing of the past.

Who said, “The quickest way to a man’s brain is through the eyeball.”?

Was that Fritz Lieber or Robert Howard? Ed Burroughs?

Either way, a stab in the eye will end most fights.

Kudos to this young lady. I’m sure she feels bad about slicing the Samaritan.

As the old Warrior adage goes, “no one comes out of a knife fight without being cut”.

I am ashamed to say I missed seeing the grindhouse film Ms.45 until last night.

Gentle, mute woman raped separately by two different assailants within a few hours. Music by Joe Delia who did King of New York and Bad Lieutenant—and worked for Chuck Berry and Stevie Wonder sessions.

Has to be around the eye. Perhaps the orbit of the socket.

“I guess he didn’t see that coming”


And chances are now even greater that he won’t see it coming next time either.
