Chicago Police are hoping a picture will help them find the man who sexually assaulted a woman near an “L” stop in the Rogers Park neighborhood.
Police have released an image of the suspect captured by a surveillance camera.
The incident happened around 5:45 a.m. on Wednesday at the Red Line’s Morse station. Police believe the suspect rode on the Red Line for six hours to find a victim. He grabbed a 50-year-old woman as she headed to work, forced her to a nearby construction site, and assaulted her.
A construction worker and a dog walker spotted the woman, and called 911. The suspect then ran off with her purse.
Police are asking anyone with information to call (312) 744-8200 and talk with Area North detectives.
The Guardian Angels escorted people at the Morse Red Line station Thursday morning, and police have increased their patrols.

you have so many hookers out on the streets practically giving their bodies away and they have to go and attack an innocent working elderly person that was probably old enough to be their mother THE PERSON THAT DID THAT TO HER NEEDS TO BE CAUGHT AND DISMISSED
