I've seen more damage occur during college football riots. Like, cars overturned.
Woman recalls attack on L: 'I've never been scared like this'
"The woman said she was returning home with her mother Saturday night on the Red Line after a dim sum dinner when a group of girls got on the train at the Monroe station and appeared to want to pick a fight.
"This girl started blowing smoke in my face, and she flicked her cigarette ashes at me," said the woman. "I said: 'You need to put that out,' and the next thing I know there's all these girls that jumped on top of us."
They began punching her face and then went for her hair. She believes they had knives or box cutters, and padlocks possibly placed inside socks.
"I put my head down between my legs so they would stop beating me in the face, but they were trying to pull my face up and hit me more," she said. "They ripped out chunks of my hair, and I've got a black eye and bruises on my face, and all over my back and shoulder."
The woman said the attack happened between two stations while the train was moving. "There was nobody to help. There was no time, really. We were surrounded, it happened in one stop, and then they got off the next stop, at Lake," she said.
As the train stopped, the group grabbed her purse, ran off and jumped the turnstile, she said. The woman ran after them, though, and eventually got her purse back and went to the police station to press charges."
Really, they beat women up at your football games?
