Elliot Allen, 35, of the 7000 block of South Sangamon Street, was driving with his girlfriend about 5 a.m. when they ran out of gas in the 4800 block of South Princeton Avenue, Assistant State’s Attorney Bob Groebner said in court.
The couple began arguing and Allen exited the vehicle, opened the front-side door where his girlfriend was sitting and punched her in the jaw, said prosecutors.
When she got out of the car, Allen grabbed a tire iron and struck her in the head. He also punched her in the face with a closed fist, Groebner said.
The victim suffered a fractured skull and nose, bruising to her face and a laceration on her forehead, he said. She remains in serious condition at an area hospital, he said.
Cook County Judge Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered Allen held on $500,000 bail.
