Tickets still coming in, Cermak and California. Said a male tried to attack her with a knife and got on the bus, bus 8752 going southbound. Male, Hispanic, face mask, all black clothing with a book bag. I think one might have said it's a brown book bag. They contacted CTA, said they're going to try to have the bus stop and garage, or maybe the controller to call back. So, we got a bus that's close to that, bus 8752, the thunder may be on that.
