Chicago police are asking for the public's help in identifying and finding a man who allegedly robbed and stabbed a CTA passenger on a Purple Line train in the Loop.

On Monday shortly after 7 p.m., police say the suspect approached a 23-year-old man who was sitting on the train at the Adams/Wabash station and demanded his cellphone. Once the victim gave the suspect his cellphone, the suspect demanded the passcode and stabbed the victim in the back with a knife, police said.

The victim was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, police said.
