A homeless man stabbed two men who were harassing him on a downtown CTA 'L" platform early this morning.
The two men suffered minor wounds.
The incident happened about 2 a.m. on the Red Line's Jackson platform on the 300 block of South State Street.
One of the men, who was stabbed in the arm, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital as a precaution. The other man suffered a finger wound and was treated on the scene.
A police source said that the two men had harassed several people on the platform before turning their attention to a homeless man, who warned the pair to leave him alone.
When they refused, the man stabbed them and fled the scene.

No charges are expected against the stabbing victims.
We believe in loving the sinner, but hate and speakout against their sinning, live a rightous and more abundant life. In a country where freedom is being diminished daily, this remains a free speech blog. Except no personal attacks/threats or gangbanger huffing and puffing.
