A 23-year-old woman is now facing attempted murder charges following a violent attack on the South Side.
Chicago police identified the suspect as Briana Bush.
The stabbing took place on January 5 near the 69th Street Red Line station.
Investigators say the incident began around 10:55 p.m. in the first block of West 69th Street.
A 24-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were reportedly involved in a fight with Bush.
Police confirmed the victims did not know the attacker before the confrontation began.
During the struggle, Bush allegedly produced a sharp object and stabbed both individuals.
Officers arriving at the scene found the female victim on the CTA platform.
She suffered a puncture wound to the right side of her chest.
Emergency responders rushed her to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition.
The male victim was located nearby with a stab wound to his upper back.
He was also transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition.
Bush now faces four felony counts, including first-degree attempted murder.
She is also charged with aggravated battery involving a deadly weapon and great bodily harm.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in court this Friday.
