CHICAGO —
A Boston man disarmed a robber on a train in Chicago on Sunday before running in the city’s marathon.
Jean Paul LaPierre, 54, was on a CTA Blue Line train when he stepped off and asked another commuter why marathoners seemed to be rushing for the doors, WGN-TV reported.
He said he was told there was another man on the train robbing commuters.
LaPierre got back on the train and confronted the robber. Video captured of the incident shows LaPierre struggling with the man and pulling a gun from his hands.
“I’m a boxer. I’ll break your head in one punch,” he said in the video.
