Chicago man is accused of stabbing another man on a CTA bus

CHICAGO – A Chicago man is accused of stabbing another man to death on a CTA bus on the city's Lower West Side this week.

Michael Willard, 30, faces aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred around 9:40 a.m. Tuesday when Willard allegedly stabbed a 22-year-old man as he sat on a CTA bus in the 2500 block of South Ashland Avenue.

Police arrested Willard 13 minutes later and charged him.

His detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
