A 31-year-old Ann Arbor woman was punched in the face while waiting for a ride from Gallup Park to Argo Park following a day of canoeing, according to police.

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said the woman was waiting at the park for a city van to come pick her up and take her back to the Argo Park Canoe Livery at 6:10 p.m. Sunday. While she was waiting, she saw a 33-year-old Ypsilanti woman staring at her, according to Bush.

The Ann Arbor woman asked the Ypsilanti woman if she needed something and, after words were exchanged, the Ypsilanti woman approached her and punched her in the face, according to Bush.

Both women had been drinking, Bush said. The Ann Arbor woman did not seek medical treatment.
