Cory Patterson, 33, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, four counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer and one count of misdemeanor battery.
After allegedly pushing a man onto the tracks at a North Side CTA station, a Chicago man fled from police and then headbutted an arresting officer, breaking the officer’s nose, prosecutors said. He was hospitalized and did not attend a hearing Thursday afternoon, where a Cook County judge issued him a $2 million D-bond, meaning he must pay $200,000 to be released from jail.
The victim survived, but suffered numerous injuries, including a broken nose, broken eye socket, two additional facial fractures and a broken jaw, prosecutors said. No motive for the incident was provided during Thursday’s hearing. After a brief foot pursuit, officers located Patterson curled up underneath a tarp outside a nearby restaurant, prosecutors said. As he was being arrested, he allegedly stated “I did it and I pushed his a-- on the tracks and I don’t care.”
