A 59-year-old River Forest man was shoved from the Harlem Avenue Blue Line platform on Dec. 1 and suffered multiple leg fractures after falling near the 600-volt third rail, officials and family said. A Chicago Sun-Times analysis found more than 60 recorded incidents of riders being pushed onto CTA tracks since 2021, averaging about one per month. The findings add pressure on the CTA amid federal threats to withhold funding over transit violence.
