As many as 10 young individuals robbed a man during a brazen attack on a Chicago train last week.
Authorities made a single arrest of a 16-year-old boy Monday and charged him with robbery and aggravated battery of a victim 60 or older in connection with the incident, police said, according to WFLD-TV.
The victim, identified by the outlet as 63-year-old Michael Manning, said he had just finished working a 12-hour shift and was keeping to himself during the train ride home when the attackers converged on him.
"This was surreal. I think I was just so shocked. I think I kind of went numb," Manning recalled, according to WFLD.
"I knew right away that this was not going to go well, no matter what I said or did," he said. "It was like I was literally running through a gauntlet of fists."
"They just pounded on me, and I knew I had to get off this car to not die," said Manning.

Manning said he got off at the next stop, but the suspects followed and continued to beat him. They allegedly stole his debit card before hopping back on the train, leaving the battered victim beside the tracks.
Investigators are still searching for the rest of the suspects, described by police as Black males and females between the ages of 14 and 22.
"I don't understand how you can have this type of lawlessness and wanton disrespect, disregard for basic humanity," Manning criticized. "And there's no checks and balances anywhere."
