CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A 15-year-old boy was stabbed and critically injured Monday in Ranch Triangle on the North Side.

He was walking with a friend at 12:57 a.m. on the sidewalk in the 1600 block of North Bissell Street when two males got out of a silver Dodge Charger and chased them, according to Chicago police.

The boy was stabbed in the chest, arm and leg, police said. He ran to the North/Clybourn CTA Red Line station less then a block away to get help and was taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital in critical condition.
