The man who is charged with terrorism for allegedly setting a woman on fire on a CTA Blue Line train has now been indicted for two other random attacks earlier this year.

Lawrence Reed, 50, is facing federal charges of committing a terrorist attack or other violence on a mass transportation system. Prosecutors say around 9 p.m. on Nov. 17, Reed approached a 26-year-old Bethany MaGee, who was reading her phone on an O'Hare-bound Blue Line train, poured liquid on her, and set her on fire without provocation.

"The surveillance video is difficult to watch, and very disturbing, as a young woman was set ablaze, and tried to put herself out, while other passengers got out of the way or watched," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros.

When the train stopped at Clark/Lake, MaGee got off and collapsed on the platform. Sources told CBS News Chicago that more than half of her body was burned. She was taken to Stroger Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.

A CBS News Investigation found Reed was previously arrested more than 70 times and was on an ankle monitor with a curfew after an alleged violent attack in August on a social worker at a psychiatric hospital, at the time he set the woman on fire.

Now Reed has been indicted for physically attacking two Chicago Transit Authority train passengers on March 27. 

Police said shortly before 7:15 p.m., a 23-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were on the train when a man, now identified as Reed, approached the woman, made physical contact with her, and attempted to sexually assault her. The man tried to intervene and was battered by Reed, police said.

Reed then tried to run away, Chicago police said, but he was taken into custody by Chicago police and taken to Rush University Medical Center for a mental health evaluation.

Both of the victims declined medical attention at the time, the CPD said.

The Cook County State's Attorney's office said Reed was never in their custody for the attack.

In a statement, they said, in part, "The CCSAO was first made aware of this case on November 20th, and a true bill of indictment was promptly returned."

That date was three days after MaGee was set on fire, in an attack federal prosecutors said was unprovoked. 

CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller said that may be the reason the March attack is now being heard.

"It came from one of three places," he said. "Either witness to the crime on the CTA back in March said. 'Hey, I can identify that guy, 'and that witness came forward, or one of the two complaining witnesses back in March, saw the case on TV, and recognized him as the offender in the case, and called Chicago police. Or perhaps when Mr. Reed was being interrogated on this latest case on the CTA, where he set the lady on fire, that he admitted to this case back in March." 

Reed's latest attack and arrest have raised questions about the efficacy of electronic monitoring. A report on Reed showed he had violated his curfew five times in the days leading up to the November fire attack, including the day of.

Many of the violations were escalated alerts where Reed was out for ours, sometimes overnight.

Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans said in a letter that the pretrial services division receives 8,500 electronic monitoring alerts a week. Those alerts are supposed to be reported to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, but that practice was paused when the SAO raised concerns about the number of alerts they were getting, Evans said.

The State's Attorney's Office rejected Evans' claims and letter, calling it "shameful." They said they were not notified of Reed's violations at any point in the week leading up to the Blue Line attack; they were only notified on Nov. 19.

Reed remains held in federal custody as he awaits trial for the Nov. 17 attack. 

CBS News Chicago has reached out to Chicago police for comment and was waiting to hear back late Wednesday.
