CHICAGO (WLS) -- A man and woman have been charged with attacking Chicago paramedics at a CTA station.

Robert Adams and Cherise Finley attacked the paramedics Sunday night on the Harrison Red Line platform in the 600-block of S. State Street, police said.

Police say the two hit, scratched and spat on the crew as they responded to a call for help. The victims were treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for facial abrasions and released.

Police said the pair fled the scene, but were taken into custody a few blocks away after a foot chase.
