A 24-year-old Evanston resident was assaulted and her was car damaged Thursday.

The woman was in the 1800 block of Emerson Street at about 1 p.m. when she saw a 22-year-old woman, whom she knew from previous encounters, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The Evanston woman said a few words to the approaching woman, who then struck the right side of the other woman’s mouth, Dugan said. The 22-year-old woman used a child’s toy to shatter the back windshield of the other woman’s car and then left the area.

The Evanston resident refused medical treatment for the cut near her mouth and does not wish to press charges, Dugan added.

Video games, accessories stolen at ETHS

A 16-year-old boy and his 37-year-old mother reported 12 to 15 Nintendo game cartridges, two styluses and a cleaning cloth — collectively valued at $600 — stolen from Evanston Township High School last month.

The boy was attending a meeting at the high school April 14 at about 4 p.m., Dugan said. He had his backpack with him and inside was a plastic hardshell case which housed the stolen items. When he left the meeting his backpack was still present, but the hardshell case was missing.
