CHICAGO — A Chicago man accused of stabbing a woman on the Northwest Side shortly after using a racial slur earlier this month is now facing felony charges.

Chicago police say 20-year-old Andres Stathoulopoulos, a Portage Park resident, has been charged with three felonies, including two counts of a hate crime and one count of aggravated battery with the use of a deadly weapon.

According to police, the charges stem from the suspect's alleged involvement in a stabbing that unfolded on July 8 in Portage Park.

Officers said the alleged incident occurred just after 11 p.m. in the 5700 block of West Addison Street.

While specific details surrounding the incident are unclear, officers said Stathoulopoulos allegedly said a racial slur just before stabbing a 42-year-old woman.
