i-Phone theft on CTA leads to tragedy
During the afternoon rush-hour Monday a CTA passenger was holding her i-Phone in her hand as the train approached the Fullerton avenue ‘L’ platform; then just as the doors opened, a man snatched her i-Phone from her hand and took off running.
Normally this would be the end of the story, but for the tragedy that followed. As the thief made his escape he shoved Sally Katona-King, 68, down a flight of stairs. She died the next day of injuries suffered in the fall. The suspect is still at large.
Sally Katona-King’s friends found tragic irony in her death: A woman who dedicated her life to helping the disadvantaged and downtrodden died because someone coveted an expensive cellphone.
Over the last few years, smartphones, i-Pods, computer notebooks and other electronic devices have been the prime target for the predators riding the CTA and hanging out on ‘L platforms looking for their next victim.
