CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Chicago police released surveillance photos of a group of teenagers who attacked three people at the Chicago Red Line station on Saturday evening.
At 7:12 p.m., the group approached the victims on the station's platform before surrounding and punching them, according to Chicago police.
The suspects are described as black males, thought to be between the ages of 15 and 19, standing between 5-foot-6 and 6-feet with medium builds and complexions, police said.
Police also received reports that a large group of teens had been kicked out of Water Tower Place and a nearby McDonald's on Saturday night.
Downtown CTA stops had an increased police presence in the lead-up to the New Year's Eve festivities, and officers were made "highly visible" at the Chicago station in the wake of the brazen attacks, police said.
