Northwestern student punched in face at party

A Northwestern student punched another student early Saturday morning at an off-campus party, according to police.

The students, who appear to be friends, were drinking at a party in the 1700 block of Ridge Avenue, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. At about 3 a.m., the students got into an argument, and one of them punched the other in the mouth.

The student was treated at Evanston Hospital with a swollen face later that day, and paramedics reported the incident to police. However, Parrott said the student will not press charges.
