On Sunday, June 5, 2011, around 12 p.m., a mob of fifteen to twenty male black suspects boarded a No. 12 CTA bus, without paying, and terrorized the passengers, said authorities.

One of the suspects reportedly hit a University of Illinois at Chicago student over the head with a bottle and stole his iPod. Other passengers were also attacked, said several reports.

The frightening incident occurred on the 1300 block of West Roosevelt Road near the University Village, Little Italy neighborhoods.

Police arrested 18-year-old Akeem J. Manago, 17-year-old Christopher Jackson, a 15-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old boy.

According to FOX Chicago News, Manago, Jackson, and the 13-year-old are still in custody. The 15-year-old is resting comfortably at home, wearing a monitoring device.

Jackson and Manago will be back in court on June 14th. The 15 and  13-year-old will stand before a judge on July 1st.
