A man followed a mail carrier in Evanston and spat on her face Friday afternoon, police said.

The Chicago woman was delivering mail in Evanston when she noticed the man following her and occasionally making noises at her, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. As the woman walked into a residence in the 900 block of Sherman Avenue, the man followed her inside, yelled at her and spat on her face. He then fled the scene.

EPD detectives are investigating the case, and no arrest has been made, Parrott said.
