Evanston Police officers are investigating an incident of aggravated assault that occurred Wednesday.

At 1:45 a.m., a man was driving southbound on Dodge Avenue when he noticed a car following him.

At the intersection of Main Street and Dodge Avenue, the man said the car pulled up alongside his car. The front-seat passenger, described as a white male, then pointed a gun at the 24-year-old.

The 24-year-old turned east on Main Street and fled the area. The other car continued south on Dodge Avenue.
