Man who nearly beat Chicago train passenger to death walks free with no prison time: report

The Chicago Police Department, in April, asked for the public's assistance after the attack aboard the public train.

According to police, Ramirez allegedly approached the CTA passenger and punched the victim in the face. They said he then continued to punch and kick the victim in the face and body.

The escalation and attack were caught on surveillance video and the Chicago Police Department released photos of the suspect, later identified as Ramirez.

According to CWBChicago, the victim spent about a week in a coma and roughly two months hospitalized with a scattered brain bleed, traumatic brain injury, broken ribs, a temporal bone fracture, ear damage, and a fractured nasal bone.

Ramirez was initially booked in the Cook County Jail with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm charges, but three months later he was released on an ankle monitor.
