A 60-year-old woman and a 40-year-old woman were both hospitalized on Friday evening after a brick thrown from the Oakwood Boulevard overpass shattered a window on the X28 Stony Island Express CTA bus that they were both traveling on. The incident occurred on Lake Shore Drive near 39th, as the bus was traveling south on Lake Shore Drive, police said.

The 60-year-old woman was hit in the head and the 40-year old woman was injured from glass fragments that hit her face, Prairie District Lt. Mark Adduci said to the Chicago Sun-Times. The older woman was taken to Stroger Hospital and was in "stable" condition on Friday night. The other woman was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in good condition. Adduci noted that police did not have a description of the offender and weren't sure if there were any witnesses to the incident.
