Man charged with pistol-whipping attacks on CTA Blue Line

A 33-year-old man has been charged with pistol-whipping two people in separate attacks on the CTA Blue Line.

Darren Muldrow was charged with two felony counts each of aggravated battery to a transit employee and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to Chicago police.

Muldrow allegedly struck a 39-year-old woman in the head and arm with a gun Wednesday morning on a northbound train in the 1900 block of North Western Avenue, police said. The woman was taken to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center in good condition.

Two days earlier, Muldrow allegedly hit a 21-year-old man with a gun on a platform of the Blue Line Clinton stop, police said.

He was being held at the Cook County Jail on $100,000 bail, according to the sheriff’s office.
