Police have released surveillance photos of a man and woman wanted for beating a woman while trying to steal her cellphone Thursday on a CTA Blue Line L train in Bucktown.

The victim was sitting on a Blue Line train near Western around 10:50 a.m. when the suspects walked up, started punching her and tried to take her phone, according to the Chicago Police Department, which said one of them also bit the woman on the hand.

The would-be robbers were described by the police as a 6-feet-tall, 180-pound black man between 25 and 35 years old who was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a 5-foot-6, 120-pound black woman between 18 and 25 years old who was wearing a dark-colored Aeropostale sweatshirt and black pants.
