Summary
- Man indicted on three counts of aggravated battery.
- Attacks occurred in Chicago's Loop in October and December.

Marlon Miller, a man facing accusations of violently attacking women in Chicago's Loop, was indicted on Friday on three counts of aggravated battery. The 40-year-old suspect's alleged assaults have sparked debate about public safety, with some questioning his prior release.
Miller is accused of punching two women in the face in October on Lake Street and throwing a milkshake at another woman near the Chicago Theatre last month. Investigators report that he attacked at least three more women in December, all while he was already on an ankle monitor for previous incidents.
Previously, a judge ordered Miller to undergo a health evaluation while in custody and was later ordered to remain detained. The court proceedings bring to light concerns regarding the safety of Chicago's streets and the measures in place to protect its residents.
