(LAKEVIEW EAST) — A Lakeview man was completely naked and speaking incoherently when he approached a 42-year-old woman and suddenly punched her in the face on Saturday night, police said. Officers wrote in a police report that they believe Dylan Crompton, 23, was “under the influence of an unknown narcotic” when he struck the woman, knocking her to the ground and breaking her glasses around 9:30 p.m. After attacking the woman, Crompton—still naked—ran into traffic along Inner Lake Shore Drive and Belmont, police said. He was taken into custody and transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment. Prosecutors charged him with battery and criminal damage to property. He was released on a recognizance bond. No mugshot was available.
