Chicago man accused of stabbing another man on CTA bus

Michael Willard, 30

A Chicago man is accused of stabbing another man on a CTA bus this week on the city's Lower West Side.

Michael Willard, 30, faces one felony count of aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, police said.

The charge stems from an incident that occurred around 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday when Willard allegedly stabbed a 22-year-old man while on a CTA bus in the 2500 block of South Ashland Avenue.

Police arrested Willard 13 minutes later and charged him accordingly.

His detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
