A 34-year-old woman was arrested early Thursday morning in connection with the aggravated assault of a hospital security guard.

The security guard told police the woman returned to the Presence Saint Francis Hospital emergency room at about 2:45 a.m. after being discharged hours earlier, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. After the hospital turned the woman away because they had not previously found any condition to treat, she began “shouting obscenities” and rushing toward the security guard, swinging her arms in an attempt to hit him, Dugan said.

The two security guards restrained the woman while waiting for police, who charged her with misdemeanor aggravated assault, he said.

The woman is scheduled to appear Oct. 1 at the Skokie Courthouse.
