On June 11, 2020, Lawrence Madden was attacked and body slammed by two CTA bus drivers. Mr. Madden was en-route to care for his elderly father when the 2 drivers stopped their respective buses and had a lengthy conversation, thus detaining their passengers and holding up traffic. Mr. Madden asked the driver to wrap up his conversation so that he could get to his destination and he was subsequently attacked by the bus drivers, one of whom picked him up off his feet and slammed him to the ground, causing numerous serious injuries. Both drivers have been fired and are now facing criminal charges.
