Officers arrested a man in connection with a verbal dispute on Thursday in west Evanston.

Officers were called to the 1700 block of Dodge Avenue around 10:45 a.m. to respond to a reported verbal dispute between a 30-year-old Evanston resident and her child’s father over the use of a vehicle.

The woman put the 2-month-old child in the car and was attempting to back out of the driveway when the man threw a brick at the front passenger side window, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. The window broke as a result.

Officers arrested the man at the scene, and he was charged with criminal damage to property, aggravated assault and child endangerment — all misdemeanors.

“Free Palestine” was found written on the wall in black spray paint. The man was reported to be wearing a trench coat and have red hair, Dugan said.
