A Chicago man was arrested after attempting to abduct a woman on the Northwestern University campus in Evanston.

The initial investigation found that several people had gotten into an argument which ended up with someone pulling out a gun.

Police said the attempted kidnapping happened on University Place. The victim told officers the man had tried to push her into his car, but she was able to escape.

The shooting happened around 8:10 p.m. on April 12 after two groups of people started fighting outside the entrance to Clark Street Beach.

According to police, the battery occurred in the street and was interrupted by a witness, causing 36-year-old Adam Browne to flee the scene on foot. The victim suffered minor injuries, police said.
