A 28-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday night in connection with simple battery.

The woman allegedly attacked her former coworker, a 25-year-old Evanston resident, and fled the scene last month on Oct. 26 at about 2 p.m. in the 1000 block of Davis Street, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The woman was upset because the former coworker had her fired, Dugan said.

Police said she was taken into custody when she came into the police department on Nov. 4 at about 7:45 p.m.

The woman was charged with a misdemeanor for simple battery. She is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 17.
