An Evanston man turned himself in to Evanston police Tuesday afternoon for a battery investigation.

The 47-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday morning in connection with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery in a public place, Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew said.

The incident that lead to the man turning himself in occurred on March 23. A man was exiting the YMCA on Grove Street and was approached by the suspect, Glew said.
