A suburban man put a South Shore Line transit police officer in a chokehold and clawed at his face before the officer shot him earlier this week at a Far South Side train station, Cook County prosecutors said during a Saturday hearing.
A judge set bail at $50,000 for Lansing resident Alfredo Alanis, 33, who is charged with aggravated battery to a peace officer following the Thursday morning disturbance on a commuter train from Indiana to Chicago.
Alanis allegedly got angry and threatened a worker who asked him to buy a ticket at the next stop about 8 a.m., prosecutors said.
