Two masked men attacked a 29-year-old man last week in his south Evanston apartment, according to police.
Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said the resident encountered the men when he came home at about 10:30 a.m. Nov. 5 in the 700 block of Brummel Street. Wearing ski masks and black hooded sweatshirts, the men showed the resident a semiautomatic handgun, punched him in the head and commented on the resident’s family moving out of the apartment within the past week.
The resident suffered a minor injury to the face but refused medical attention, Parrott said.
Police described the men as having a thin build and wearing blue jeans in addition to the masks and sweatshirts.
Detectives are investigating the home invasion, Parrott said.
