NBC Chicago Staff Two men are charged with beating a food delivery driver and stealing his electric bike last week on a CTA Red Line train on the South Side. After the 35th Street station, one of the two men displayed a knife while the other put the victim in a choke-hold, according to court documents. The victim had an Apple AirTag on his bike, which officers used, along with CTA surveillance footage, to track the men to a motel in the 7600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue in Greater Grand Crossing, where they were taken into custody within an hour of the attack, prosecutors said.
