CHICAGO (CBS) — A woman was begging for her attackers to stop, but they just kept swinging – punching her in the face.
The woman and her boyfriend were on their way to the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line subway at State Street and Jackson Boulevard Saturday night. They were waiting for the elevator at ground level to go down to the platform.
But they never made it. Instead, trouble found them, surrounded them, and attacked them.
“I need plastic surgery, because the bones are broke, and still bleeding inside,” the woman said.
The scars and bruising are concealed behind the shades the woman now wears over her eyes. But the pain is deeper.
“I was saying, ‘Why?’ Asking, ‘Why did you do that to me?’” the woman said.
Two male attackers initially approached the woman’s boyfriend. He ignored them, and they clocked him over the head from behind.
