Oak Park police arrested a man last week in connection to a violent domestic incident in which the man reportedly choked the victim after attacking them with a knife, according to police activity reports.
Police arrested the 33-year-old man shortly before 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 5 on charges of aggravated domestic battery in connection with the incident in the 200 block of Washington Boulevard.
