Man Injured After Punching Truck Taillight: Oswego PD

OSWEGO, IL — According to a press release sent out by the Oswego Police on Friday, they are currently investigating a potential criminal damage to property incident that occurred on Thursday, April 2. The incident occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m. in Hudson Crossing Park, and they said it involved a man possibly punching a vehicle's taillight.

According to the police, two Aurora residents - a 26-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman - were sitting in a pick-up truck in the parking lot when another man approached the vehicle and an argument between the parties ensued. The man who approached the vehicle was reported to have eventually punched one of its taillights and broke it, police said. The man's age was not revealed; neither was his relationship, if any, to the two people in the truck.

"Somebody reported that they got into an argument with somebody at the park, and the individual came and broke their taillight. We're still investigating it," Oswego PD Public Information Officer Cathy Nevara said.

Nevara said that the man who was reported to have punched the taillight injured himself in doing so, and was transported by ambulance to a nearby medical center for treatment.

Police said that as the investigation into the incident is still pending, they can not release the names of any person involved. Additionally, no official charges have been levied against anyone.

Any charges eventually levied against any individual will merely be accusations and they will be considered innocent until proven guilty.
